In this webinar, discover how T4i, a leading space propulsion company, used Cognitive Design to engineer a 3D-printed pressurized tank that meets demanding structural and functional constraints, while taking full advantage of Intact Solution’s meshless simulation and topology optimization technology.

What you will learn

You’ll learn how the combination of Simulation-Driven Design, Manufacturing-Driven Design, lattice generation, and Intact-powered topology optimization and FEA simulation enables engineers to co-optimize internal architecture, structural performance, and printability — all while respecting strict interface constraints and manufacturability requirements.

Key Takeaways

  • MAXIMIZE STIFFNESS, MINIMIZE MASS WITH TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION AND LATTICES
  • INTEGRATE MANUFACTURING AND SIMULATION CONSTRAINTS FROM DAY ONE.
  • BUILD AND REUSE SCALABLE DESIGN WORKFLOWS TO ACCELERATE FUTURE PROJECTS.

Thanks to Cognitive Design, we were able to rapidly design and validate a structurally optimized tank that fits within our CubeSat constraints, integrates all required functions, and meets demanding pressure requirements. It’s a game-changer for enabling component design exploration high-performance propulsion in small satellite platforms.
