Virtual.PYXIS
- Virtual.PYXIS’s mission is to provide optimization software and engineering services that allow for the best design solution to the customer’s engineering needs
- The software automatically transforms an extended not defined geometry in an innovative design with minimum weight and maximum stiffness, promoting a reduction in the time required for engineering development design cycle
- It deliveries a broad range of structural improvements including less weight, greater efficiency, better performance, reduced energy needs and overall costs
- Competitive advantages : constant innovation supported by close ties to Universities, superior product results, flexible business model, competitive price
Virtual.PYXIS Worldwide
- Virtual.PYXIS has offices of development/sales in North / South America and Europe
Virtual.PYXIS – Main Advantages
- It uses ANSYS and ABAQUS solver during optimization cycles
- Besides linear static, frequency, it also deals with optimization of nonlinear
- situations (geometric, material, friction contact)
- Very robust and modern filter technics based on projection and Heaviside methods (improving frequency solution results).
- The manufacturing constraints are mathematically formulated, many options are available: casting, extrusion, symmetry, member size, etc
- Unique objective response to design compliant mechanisms and possibility to connect multiples solution (modal pre-stressed ex.) allowing optimization of multiphysics analysis
Example: Tractor cabin mount support
- Using material nonlinearities
- Objective: getting homogeneous reactions at all bolt locations
- Loads: ROPS (rollover)
Baseline Model
Example: Piston
- Using compliant mechanism (flexible mechanism)
- Objective: avoiding the piston opening (pinless project)
- Loads: tension and compression
Example: Cover
- Frequency optimization, maximizing the first mode, target > 64 Hz
