In this video walkthrough, we demonstrate the power of FormFlow to optimise a cantilever which is subject to both mechanical and thermal loads. We methodically go through the process of setting up our optimisation strategy to understand how the individual physics affect the geometry before combining them both into a single optimisation.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a class of manufacturing methods that has unique capabilities allowing users to vary material properties throughout the component. This can be done by changing the constituent material or its finer structure using lattices or various processing parameter inside the slicing software. FormFlow is the latest addition to optimise your components using this powerful new paradigm. To showcase this, in this article we optimise a CPU water-cooler. The back of the cooler is subjected to heat, it will... Tutorials
