Tosca 2019 key features

• New Functionality
  • Sensitivity-based shape optimization with Abaqus sensitivities now supports
    • Non-linear static analysis (NLGEOM=YES, *PLASTIC, …)
    • Stress constraints
    • Reaction force constraints, even on *COUPLING elements
    • 2D and 3D elements
    • Abaqus execution in MPI-mode
    • Better performance, especially for stress constraints
  • Sensitivity-based shape optimization now supports following manufacturing constraints
    • Plane symmetry for non-symmetric meshes (see SURF_PLANE_SYM)
    • Cyclic symmetry for non-symmetric meshes (see SURF_CYCLIC_ROTATIONAL_SYM)
    • Cyclic-plane symmetry combination (see SURF_CYCLIC_PLANE_SYM)
    • Coupling as stampable surface (see SURF_STAMP)
    • Coupling as demoldable surface (see SURF_DEMOLD)
  • Easy shape optimization control of adjacent surfaces
  • Smooth transition into shape optimization design area
• Enhanced Functionality
  • New implementation of the internal sensitivity based optimizer, Convex Separable Approximation (CSA)
  • Enhanced topology optimization sensitivity filtering
  • MSC Nastran® I8-mode fully supported

Tosca 2019 installation

The complete Tosca 2019 installation procedure (together with fe-safe, Isight and Abaqus) is shown in the youtube video below.

First, the 5 downloaded files (with the name 2019.AM_SIM_Abaqus_Extend.AllOS.x-5.tar) need to be extracted into a single directory. This can be done by selecting the 5 files, right click on them and extract them to a specific location.

The installation guide of the SIMULIA packages (SimuliaInstallationGuide.pdf) can be found directory AM_SIM_Abaqus_Extend.AllOS\1

Tosca 2019 can be installed with the suite installer. You can run the suite installer by running setup.exe in AM_SIM_Abaqus_Extend.ALLOS\1.
