Möbius: Optimize robust topologies

Möbius optimizes parts in the context of their assembly, in the cloud, with a stochastic engine that accounts for real-world variation. Lighter, robust parts, earlier in the design process.

Inside Möbius

  • 25M+elements in a single optimization
  • 1,000+CAD surfaces per assembly, loaded in seconds
  • 0installs, and no solver hardware: it runs in the cloud
  • Multiple export formats, plus an API for third-party tools

25 million elements? No problem.

A cloud solver that refines the mesh as it optimizes, only where it matters.

  • Adaptive remeshing
  • Casting
  • Member size
  • Overhang
  • Symmetry
  • Keep thickness
  • Enforce wall structures

Constraints on every axis.

Give each part its own casting and symmetry directions, while the assembly stays connected.

  • Per-part constraints
  • Multi-axis symmetry
  • Connected assemblies

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Möbius optimize a part inside an assembly?

Yes. You bring in the assembly, choose the part to optimize and define how it connects to the parts around it. Möbius then optimizes it in that context, so the result fits where it has to go.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Möbius works from any browser. We handle the heavy computational lifting on our servers, on current Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC processors, so your workstation stays free.

Can it handle large models and many jobs?

Yes. Möbius is built to scale in the cloud, with virtually unlimited power to run jobs in parallel. Jobs run asynchronously: start as many as you need, close your browser, and pick up the results later from any device.

Can I follow my jobs while they run?

Yes. Möbius comes with advanced workflow management: every job shows its logs as it runs, just as if it were running on your own computer.

What does “stochastic” add?

Classic topology optimization designs a part for one ideal set of loads. Möbius also accounts for how those loads vary in service, so you can make parts lighter without adding safety margins by guesswork.

How is my data protected?

Rafinex is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, the international standard for information security management, and audited independently. About our certification

How fast is it?

Iterations between design and engineering take minutes, so a team can work through dozens of parts a day instead of waiting on rounds of analysis.

When in the design process should I use it?

As early as the concept phase. Starting from a robust design avoids rework when requirements change late, and shortens the path to market.

Which industries is it for?

Any industry with structural parts to make lighter and safer, including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing and consumer electronics. See applications
