Abstract Scope |
Technology such as Generative Design allows users to generate numerous, high-quality component candidates that are often lighter and stronger than traditionally designed parts. However, the organic and intricate nature of machine generated parts is problematic during the manufacturing phase, resulting in high costs and slow manufacturing times with traditional manufacturing techniques. An alternative manufacturing technique, metal additive manufacturing, is explored as a potential solution for the construction of machine generated components. This paper addresses the process of designing and load testing a satellite optical instrument mounting bracket using the generative design and thermal simulation capabilities of Autodesk Fusion 360. The workflow pipeline begins with the creation of generative design studies for the instrument bracket in accordance with the design criteria outlined in the optical instrument design challenge, where it is then thermally load tested using FEA in Fusion 360 and analyzed for its mechanical behavior. |
