Parametric design optimization and a modern design approach (i.e. size and topology optimization) are applied and demonstrated on the structure of a rubber compression moulding machine using ANSYS 13 software. The study confirms that the structural optimization results in an innovative design with low cost. Keywords - Finite Element Analysis, Structural Optimization, ANSYS, Design Optimization, Size and Topology Optimization.
