Additive manufacturing (AM) provides great new possibilities concerning designing. AM turns to free-form designs with reduced weight, which are individually customized. Taking advantage of these aspects, the manufacturing world is led to a still not fully discovered, continuously expanding, era. This study includes a thorough look of a designing pr...

Fluid off-takes and complex delivery ducts are common in many engineering systems but designing them can be a challenging task. At the conceptual design phase many system parameters are open to consideration and preliminary design studies are necessary to instruct the conceptualisation process in an iterative development of design ideas. This paper...

Almost all designs start with a design requirement. These may be weight, volume, clearance, and even custom calculations. Finding a solution that meets these requirements often involves tedious and time-consuming iterations. Once the solution has been found, the design must be optimized to find the best possible solution. Finding the ‘best possible...
