What is
Concept Development
Concept design is mainly the macro design or initial big picture. It shows us what issues the product is able to solve, how and what it will be feeling like as it is solving them.
Topology Optimization
Topology Optimization is mainly a mathematical method that allows you to optimize material layout within a certainly given design space, for a given set of boundary conditions, loads, and constraints with the goal of maximizing the overall performance of the system.
Design Optimization
Design optimization is a methodology of engineering design using the mathematical formula of a design issue to support the selection of the optimal design among many other alternatives.
FEA and CFD
The difference between CFD and FEA is not simple. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a set of similar methods, however better suited for resolving fluid-flow problems. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) solves partial differential equations in a certain way, that is mainly used for structural issues.
