By changing the Complexity from 6 GB (right image below) to 20 GB (left image below) the resulting structure changes as well because the optimisation is carried out with a higher resolution. The emerging structure is more detailed and defined, but it also takes more time to get to this result. It depends on the model, the field of application and other non-quantifiable conditions which complexity setting is best suited for the part. We suggest starting with a low Complexity value for the first optimisations and after receiving the results consider whether a higher value is appropriate for the model.
Reduce fixation points vs. Keep all Non-Design Spaces
To realize an optimisation with as much freedom as possible you should disable the Keep Non-Design Spaces function for the six fixations points as well as the constraint created with them. For this to work it is important that all fixation points are fixated in one constraint.
...
The result in this example includes all six fixation points (Complexity 20 GB). As shown in the left image the first optimisation reduced one of the fixation points and by choosing the presented function all of the six fixation points are included in the result.
Introducing Event Specific Stress Constraints
To prioritize Events differently, event specific stress constraints can be placed on single Events. It is also possible to prioritize only one event. In this case the other event will take the global stress goal into consideration for the optimisation.
