Why is ConceptWorks integrated within DEP MeshWorks needed?
DEP made sure that the inputs are very simple and it was designed in such a way that engineers at any level can start creating Concept parts after a 3 or 4 hour training. ConceptWorks module integrated within DEP MeshWorks can be used by CAE engineers that helps achieve an optimal design much faster without involving designers at every stage.

What does ConceptWorks do?
ConceptWorks for structures is a tool created for CAE engineers, which allows the user to create concept members and joints without the need of CAD.
Basically, once the concept design is validated at the CAE level, this can now be presented to CAD designers, thereby drastically reducing the back and forth process that exists in the current design and development cycle.

Features
DEP ConceptWorks is an automated modeling system that generates concept members and joints with minimal input. This system seeks to bridge the gap between model design and analysis. The modeling system incorporates a computer system that automatically creates elements based on user inputs such as trajectories, axes along height, any basic components, height, width, angle, size, radius, and thickness.

Member
In ConceptWorks, there is a detailed member creation feature which can help users to create both predefined and user-defined members.
Also, member creation can be done as a new feature, using existing members, direction-based, trajectory-based, etc.
Also, member creation can be done as a new feature, using existing members, direction-based, trajectory-based, etc.

Joint connections
ConceptWorks features assist in building suitable joints such as standard joints or special joints based on the given inputs . It automatically creates joints with only a few inputs such as element size, height, cross section nodes, define vector, connecting part, target position, base components

Adjustments
ConceptWorks modelling robustness eliminates framework complexity by allowing users to alter existing members and flanges to meet the desired output by selecting the element to be adjusted and adjusting the range, deformable nodes, and base components accordingly .

Inner Parts of the Body Side Outer
In ConceptWorks, a CAE engineers can find more detailed functionalities to analyze and build sophisticated inner parts such as Roof Rail Inner, Header, Roof Bow, B -Pillar Inner, etc . With minimal user intervention and fewer inputs that specify location, reference elements, thickness, trajectory etc . one can create the Inner Parts for automotive structures

Special Features
ConceptWorks assist users in effortlessly constructing various special features such as fillets, holes, and splits by specifying nodes, radius, and elements on the model, with the goal of bridging the gap between model design and analysis

The value of ConceptWorks: automation
ConceptWorks integrated within DEP MeshWorks executes most of the adjustments (mid-surface thickness, penetrations, etc) automatically by itself.
In the rare scenarios this isn't fitting with your needs, ConceptWorks and DEP MeshWorks eliminate framework complexity by allowing users to alter existing members and flanges to meet the desired output by simply selecting the element to be adjusted and adjusting the range, deformable nodes, and base components accordingly.

More super-efficient methodologies from DEP MeshWorks to help you save drastic times in the early design phases

Reduced Order Modeling (ROM)
Automated tools in DEP MeshWorks are available enabling to quickly extract sections at important locations with their properties and inertia data. The sections are automatically associated to 1D beams containing all the structural data.
Then, sections can be parameterized to play with structural performances. DOE and MDO can be set to optimize the model.
Once you've identifed your optimized model, ConceptWorks integrated within DEP MeshWorks can be used to rebuild the 3D Shell Model as per the updated sections ans properties.
