Reduce material, volume, and cost—without compromising structural performance.
CCTech’s Topology Optimization platform enables engineers to upload CAD models directly into an Autodesk Platform Services (APS) web viewer, define engineering constraints and objectives, and generate optimized design concepts that retain only load-bearing material.
By eliminating unnecessary mass early in the design phase, teams achieve lighter components, lower material usage, reduced manufacturing costs, and improved performance through a guided, browser-based workflow—without manual rework or trial-and-error modeling.
This enables engineering teams to make informed, performance-backed design decisions at the concept stage, reducing downstream redesign cycles and accelerating the path from feasibility to production-ready designs.
A guided, browser-based workflow inside the APS web viewer—from CAD upload to feasible engineering output.
Engineers securely upload CAD models into the APS web viewer without local installations. Native geometry is streamed and visualized directly in the browser.
Users interactively select optimization regions and preserve functional interfaces such as mounting points, holes, and connection faces within the viewer.
Loads, fixtures, symmetry conditions, material properties, and target mass are defined through a guided UI, aligned with engineering intent.
The optimization engine executes multiple Finite Element Analysis (FEA)-driven iterations in the background, evolving material distribution based on defined objectives.
Original and optimized geometries are compared side-by-side in the same APS viewer, enabling clear evaluation of performance gains.
Optimized geometry and a detailed engineering report are exported for downstream CAD remodeling or manufacturing validation.
Upload the model, preserve functional regions, and apply fixed surfaces and loads through the guided TOPO OPT panel.
Original and optimized geometries are compared in the same APS viewer before the optimized geometry and engineering report are exported.
Simulation-validated optimization, driven by the BESO algorithm and iterative finite element analysis.
The platform is powered by the Bidirectional Evolutionary Structural Optimization (BESO) algorithm, which incrementally removes and adds material based on structural efficiency.
Each optimization cycle runs finite element analysis to evaluate stress, stiffness, and load paths, ensuring decisions are simulation-validated.
Material is gradually redistributed across iterations until optimization objectives—such as target weight or stiffness—are achieved.
The resulting geometries naturally follow load paths, producing structurally efficient designs rather than arbitrary organic shapes.
CAD models are uploaded, configured, optimized, evaluated and exported without leaving the browser—native geometry is streamed and visualized directly in the APS web viewer, with no local installations.
From additive manufacturing to early-stage design exploration—engineering use cases for lightweight, performance-driven design.
