Introduction to the Rafinex Suite

Why Rafinex?

The world’s best mathematics at the tip of everyone’s fingertips to solve product (structural) design challenges.

Rafinex is a company that is singularly dedicated to providing advanced numerical models for challenging engineering applications, ready to use and packaged as beautiful, intuitive cloud simulation apps with built-in expert know-how.

By combining best-in-class advanced algorithms, we strive to find and provide the world’s most advanced and most appropriate numerical methods for your engineering challenges.

Rafinex goes beyond current market tools by accounting for real-life manufacturability constraints. Additionally, designs may be driven, when required, by variability using uncertainty quantification methods. This allows for safe and profitable usage by everyone in engineering design and analysis.

MÖBIUS: Advanced (Structural) Topology Optimization

User Interface - UI

  • Cloud (browser) based and easy-to-use user interface (pre & post-processor).

  • Import CAD: Parasolids & STEP assemblies.

  • Automated meshing suited to optimization setups. Intelligent small features suppression for improved mesh quality.

  • Automated workflows for optimized shape extraction + FEA Validation setup and solve.

  • Automated setup templating for fast workflows on similar applications.

  • FEA & optimization (streamlined and easy) assembly model setup, jobs monitor, parallel tasks performance and easy access to log files for each task.

  • Fully featured results viewer and downloads: FEA results, STL, Nastran & Abaqus decks.

SOLVERs

  • Deterministic and stochastic advanced Topology Optimization analysis.

  • Unique manufacturability main constraints: symmetry, casting, overhang, member size (automated control) working seamlessly together to arrive to realistically complex manufacturing variants.

  • Unique remeshing and adaptivity technique in a single simulation analysis. Fully automated control of the member size constraint allows for a sensible result on a first attempt without trial/error loops on different input meshes.

  • Assembly-like Topology Optimization constraints in different axis directions.

  • FEA analysis to check the initial setup fast, and to check on the structural performance across separate optimized design variants, without leaving the Möbius simulation environment.
