In the view of insufficient stiffness and over weight of a hydraulic press body,it was ameliorated by the structure optimization based on the force transfer path. First,based on 3D model of the hydraulic press,its finite element model was set up. Then,the static stiffness and strength were calculated,and the weak points of the press body were determined. Further,the best material distribution and the structure concept solution were gained by the topology optimization method,and a detailed design was accomplished by size optimization method. Finally,the optimal body structure was obtained. The result shows that the maximal displacement under the full load reduces by 36%,the maximal stress in the throat opening decreases by 38. 1%,and the hydraulic press mass declines by 12. 67%. Therefore,the performance of the hydraulic press is improved and the material is saved,and the optimization goal of the hydraulic press body is achieved.
