Virtual.PYXIS was placed in the top three winners of “Foundation Prize” award.

Every year the Hannover Impuls promotes, together to the main sponsors and partners (Sparkasse Hannover, Enercity Proklima, T3N Digital Pioneers and Radio 21) an entrepreneur competition between companies called “STARTUP-IMPULS”. This competition has 4 categories: Idea Prize, Foundation Prize, Academic Prize and Smart Energy. This year 145 companies attended the competition and, Virtual.PYXIS has award the second position in the category “Foundation Prize”. It was an honor to attend the competition, because it happens in a very high level in terms of knowledge and the business itself. Virtual.PYXIS has 2 location offices, the first one is located in Hannover at Technologie Zentrum in Wissenschaftspark and other in Chicago at University Tech Park at Illinois Institute of Technology.

Virtual.PYXIS the University technology park at ITT Chicago

by DAVID BAKER, University Technology Park, IIT

This month, we’re excited to welcome Virtual.PYXIS, a Brazilian-based startup focusing on computer-aided engineering (CAE) applications for the aerospace and automotive industries. They’re just the latest company to take advantage of our International Soft Landing Program, designed to provide startups with a gateway to North American markets via Chicago.

When I’m talking with innovators from other countries, I find there’s strong interest in Chicago. Easy access via O’Hare and Midway airports, proximity to major research institutions, and our area’s high concentration of financial, legal and accounting services are all major attractors. So is the city’s high-quality workforce and the presence of burgeoning tech clusters in life sciences, energy, software, and materials.

This video demonstrates the Topology Optimization Software Virtual.PYXIS.

 

The topology optimization software you need

Virtual.PYXIS is a non-parametric structural optimization software recommended for engineers and designers who need to design innovative components and assemblies with reduced mass.
The software is able to handle from simple to complex optimization situations, also involving nonlinear analysis features (plasticity and contact) and compliant mechanism systems.
The software has a state of art algorithm, which permits to achieve more weight reduction while keeping the same level of stiffness.
Virtual.PYXIS has been created to fill the gap between academic research and what is available to the market.
As it is solver independent, Virtual.PYXIS takes full advantage of the optimization potential and flexibility.

Ansys Workbench Integration

Main Advantages 

- Solver independent

- It uses ANSYS and ABAQUS solver during optimization cycles

- Optimization of nonlinear situations (geometric, material, finite slide contact)

- Very robust and modern filter technics based on projection and heaviside methods

-The manufacturing constraints are mathematically formulated, more than 26 combinations are avaliable

- Good treatment of the sensibilities achieving more weight reduction while keeping the same level of stiffness

- Unique solution for complex analysis like compliant mechanisms
