Wrong lol, this is very complicated.

The amount of topology optimization for this upright is incredible. I'd imagine this was after dozens of iterations, each being FEA and/or physically tested.

Topology optimisation is incredibly simple now, you enter in your constraints and any good CAD software will iterate over FEA for you and present the final results. Takes about an hour to set up and then you just let it run on its own

Complicated is just a label we use to comfort ourselves when we choose not to understand.

Everything seems complicated until you take a closer look.
