Summary:

A methodology to improve the structural performance of an automotive body structure by large scale Topography Optimization is presented. Topography, an established technology, is a special class of shape optimization, which can be used to change sheet metal shapes. The paper will highlight the advantages of Topography optimization easy optimization setup, large number of design variables, identification of sheet metal shape morphing locations, and a mass neutral or mass efficient solution. A case study on the application of Topography on the full Body Structure is illustrated
