Simple Steps to Use ECLIBSETM
ECLIBSETM is a cloud-based generative design platform that helps you to generate lightweight and functional lattice & solid structures within a few steps, including specifying the designable / non-designable domains, load cases, material properties and the optimization model.

Step 1. Import geometries
★ Import one or more STL files to define the design domain and non-design domain. Please ensure the non-design domains overlap with the design domain.
★ View the imported STL models by highlighting, show/hide, rotation, translation, zooming, color change, cross-section view and default view.
Step 2. Load cases
★ Define the load cases, each of which includes one or more boundary and loading conditions.
Step 3. Material properties
★ Specify the material properties, including the material name, density, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and yielding stress.
Step 4. Design responses
★ Define the design responses, e.g. the weighted compliance and volume ratio. A weight (0.0 ~ 1.0) for each load case should be specified.
Step 5. Optimization
★ Specify the objective function & constraints with the design responses defined in Step 4.
★ Choose the resolution (Coarse / Fine), which corresponds to the level of structural details in the final optimized design. If there are small or thin geometric features in the structure, the 'Fine' resolution is recommended.
★ Submit the optimization job.
★ Once the optimization job finishes, ECLIBSE™ will send out a notification message in the GUI to the user to View and Download the optimized design in STL format.
