Education challenge for sheet metal brackets

The longitudinal chassis frame members of trucks offer endless attachments points for battery packs and auxiliary units forming a huge exploration space for bracket concepts. ​ With Synera, end-to-end processes for sheet metal bracktes can be fully automated, including topology optimization, reconstruction and validation for all design variants.​
