Fan and Turbine Blade Design Optimization
Since 2004, SmartDO has been applied to multi-physics optimization projects involving fan, turbofan and turbine blade systems. The accumulated engineering experience supports customized optimization workflows for aerodynamic performance, structural strength and fluid–structure interaction.
SmartDO can connect optimization variables, CAE solver inputs and
engineering constraints to automate iterative blade design studies
across multiple physics domains.

Light Weight Structure
 | The application of SmartDO in lightweight structure design can be traced back to 1992. More than decades of practical application of structural weight reduction, SmartDO and FEA-Opt Technology have become irreplaceable experts in this field. SmartDO is used in almost all industrial applications for lightweight structure design, including aerospace, machinery, electronics, sporting utilities, 3C, biomedical, civil construction, defense and consumer products industry. |
Heating & Cooling Performance Optimization
 | SmartDO has been used in heating and cooling applications for manufacturing, aerospace, machinery, electronics, semiconductor, defense and other industries for a long time with remarkable results. Using the powerful optimizer of SmartDO, many difficult cooling and heating problems can be solved. If you need more detailed information, please contact us immediately. |
Machine Tools Design Optimization
 | The optimal design of the machine tool needs to consider the weight, stiffness and dynamic performance. Sometimes conditions such as thermal deformation are also considered. Neglecting one of these conditions can result in an unreasonable design. The applications of SmartDO in machine tools include weight reduction, (static and dynamic) stiffness enhancement, material properties correlation, digital twin, heat transfer and thermal deformation, etc. |
Electric Motor : Torque, Ripple, Cogginh, Efficiency and Multiphysics Optimization)
 | In recent years, the performance requirements of electric motors have become more stringent, and more and more design variables and physical conditions need to be adjusted. SmartDO is suitable for such practical complex design problems. Our customers use SmartDO for electric motor optimization, which is not limited to the magnetic circuit optimization design (torque, ripple, cogginh, efficiency), but also includes stress and temperature considerations. These conditions can be easily solved simultaneously by SmartDO. |
Speaker Acoustic Performance Optimization
 | The optimal design of speakers and earphones includes acoustic, vibration and material optimization. More and more customers use SmartDO to optimize this aspect, and they all get excellent results. Acoustics is a developing and widely used ridge domain. Applying SmartDO to this field will help you accelerate product research and development. |
Digital Production Line Integration & Automation
 | FEA-Opt Technology has been investing in Digital Production Line Integration & Automation with SmartDO as a platform for more than ten years. Years of experience have enabled us to specialize in the integration and communication of different software, and to build system platform. SmartDO has many built-in tools to facilitate users to perform system integration, including built-in tcl/tk platforms. |
