Capability · Structural
Topology optimization that produces manufacturable structure
Define load cases, materials and manufacturing constraints. XLAB Innovations resolves the load paths and returns smooth, watertight geometry that survives stress, buckling and fatigue checks — ready for machining, casting or additive build preparation.

Capabilities
Everything the study needs, inside one solver loop
01
Multi-load-case objectives
Optimise compliance, stiffness-to-mass or displacement across dozens of simultaneous load cases with independent weighting.
02
Stress & buckling constraints
Von Mises, principal stress and linear buckling constraints applied during optimisation rather than checked after the fact.
03
Manufacturing envelopes
Draw direction, minimum member size, symmetry planes, overhang angle and tool-access volumes enforced natively.
04
Lattice & graded infill
Hybrid solid-lattice regions with graded density mapped to the resolved stress field for additive manufacturing.
05
Fatigue-aware shaping
Damage-driven smoothing on hot-spot regions using your own S-N curves and duty cycles.
06
Watertight reconstruction
Automatic B-Rep reconstruction with curvature-continuous surfaces that reopen cleanly in CATIA, NX or SolidWorks.
Workflow
01
Import design space
Upload CAD or mesh, tag keep-out volumes, interfaces and bolt patterns.
02
Declare the physics
Materials, load cases, boundary conditions, safety factors and the manufacturing route.
03
Optimise
Density-based and level-set solvers run in parallel; convergence is monitored live per iteration.
04
Validate & export
Automatic verification FEA on the reconstructed solid, then STEP/Parasolid export with a full run record.
Put physics in the loop, not at the end of it.
