Novineer excels in both stiffness-based and strength-based optimization, utilizing the von Mises, Tsai-Hill, or Tsai-Wu failure criteria depending on the material properties. The first step in the design process is to select the design and non-design domains to ensure that stress near the load or boundary contact does not affect the design process. All strength-related properties, such as tensile, compressive, and shear strengths, are incorporated into the failure criterion during the optimization process. By incorporating these properties, Novineer ensures a comprehensive and robust optimization process, even for anisotropic parts.
