The invention relates to a CAE (
Computer Aided Engineering) analysis based product structure optimization method and
system. The CAE analysis based product structure optimization method comprises step 1, establishing a finite element
mesh model of a product structure before optimization through an
application module which is arranged in a computer
system and receiving material parameters of the structure; step 2, receiving boundary conditions and loads of the
modal analysis under the
static analysis and of constraint condition, wherein the boundary conditions and loads are defined based on the working conditions under two working states, loading the finite element
mesh model and obtaining a response result through calculation; step 3, establishing a
design space and an off-
design space according to the response result; step 4, receiving
topology optimization parameters which are defined according to the
design space, the off-design space, structural loads and the response result, establishing a
topology optimization model, completing the optimization analysis and obtaining an optimization result; step 5, reestablishing the finite element
mesh model according to the optimization result, performing loading in the way as same as that in the step 2 and obtaining a response result of the product structure after optimization through calculation. According to the CAE analysis based product structure optimization method and
system, the performance requirements are met and meanwhile the lightweight design is implemented.
