10:00 - 10:30	(Broadcasting) Opening Speech - Yasuhiko Fujikawa, President & CEO, VINAS Co., Ltd.
10:30 – 10:50	Introduction of FE-DESIGN and Consulting Service of Weight Reduction and Structural Optimization by VINAS Toru Sugino, Director, Head of Tokyo Office, VINAS Co., Ltd. The front line of product development and design faces timeless challenges of reducing weight and cost. TOSCA is capable of not only finding out where problems exit but also coming up with better design recommendations with reduced weight. This presentation will introduce FE-DESIGN's approach to weight reduction with TOSCA, and VINAS's consultation service for weight reduction and structural design optimization.
10:50 – 11:10	Introduction of Structural Optimization Consulting Service for Weight Reduction Hidetoshi Takaoka, General Manager, Engineering Department 3, VINAS Co., Ltd. In order to reduce weight of products and cut back the number of prototyping and testing, it is important to obtain a material layout that has good mechanical properties at the concept design phase. This presentation will highlight some important recommendations by VINAS for successful launch of design optimization at an early stage of product development process.
11:10 – 11:30	Features of Non-parametric Structural Optimization System TOSCA 7.1 Yusuke Houki, Structure Performance Optimization, Engineering Department 3, VINAS Co., Ltd. With TOSCA, companies can save cost by obtaining a design with reduced weight even when it seems impossible and cutting back the number of prototypes to make. This presentation will illustrate the way TOSCA can be linked with a general purpose structural analysis solver and provide an overview of TOSCA’s optimization functions.
11:30 – 12:20		Overview of Structural Optimization with TOSCA.Structure 7.1” Mr. Chavdar Georgiev, Dipl. -Ing. Product Manager, International Presales , FE-DESIGN GmbH
	Optimization is getting more and more important in the modern product development process. FE-DESIGN introduces with the latest release of TOSCA.Structure version 7.1 a highly effective market-leading technology for rapid and reliable design of lightweight, rigid, and durable components and systems.
12:20 – 13:35	Lunch / Demonstration *Short presentation
13:35 – 14:25		“FE-DESIGN “the optimization company”, case study: Weight-Optimization of the Pull Lever of a Press for massive forming.” Mr. Manfred Fritsch, Dipl. -Ing. International Business Development , FE-DESIGN GmbH
	Weight reduction and stress minimization of massive metal forming parts are decisive important to design better products and to become more competitive. The consideration of nonlinear impacts, manufacturing constraints and integration into the existing CAE environment enable customers to use TOSCA Structure in a early design phase.
14:25 – 15:05		Application of Non-parametric Optimization Technology in the Development of Photocopier Mr. Atsuhiko Shimoyama CAE Development Division R&D Innovation Center R&D Headquarters, Konica Minolta Business Technologies, Inc.
	In the development of photocopiers, Weight Reduction is becoming ever more important in order to save material and transportation costs and to reduce environmental burdens. For that purpose, we decided to use non-parametric optimization technology, and started evaluation of TOSCA. This presentation will show how we evaluated TOSCA and examples of optimization studies we conducted during the process.
15:05 – 15:45		Continued Discussion: Is Non-Parametric Better Than Parametric? Mr. Susumu Sunaga Manager, R&D, FUKAI MFG. CO., LTD.
	Are non-parametric optimization solutions really optimal? Last time I presented non-parametric optimization solution that is stiffer than parametric solutions. Since then, however, it was found that there were some issues. In this presentation, I will explain advantageous characteristics of non-parametric solutions and how to make the best use of them.

16:45 – 17:00	Importance of FEM Modeling in Topology Optimization Hidetoshi Takaoka, General Manager, Engineering Department 3, VINAS Co., Ltd. Accurate modeling of physics is important when performing topology optimization, because resulting geometry follows the load path. Definition of design space also affects the result. This presentation will highlight the importance of modeling by showing examples of optimization based on non-linear analysis of contact and large deformation problems.
