Complete Update regarding the new Input Config
The Configuration File contains all information necessary for the algorithm to run through the optimisation. It is subdivided into different areas regarding the Geometry, Loads and Constraints, Cases (Events) and optimisation parameter. The file is written in JSON file format.
...
applicationRequest | OptimizationLoop | Indicates that the regular optimisation loop is executed | automaticFunctionalFacesDetection.positiveNonDesignDirection | true | Functional Surfaces are automatically detected. These areas grow during an optimisation to guarantee sharp edges and functional surfaces after the intersection. If all functional surfaces have a Machining Allowance applied to them, this option should be deactivated. |
Loads and Constraints
The Loads and Constraints section collects all information regarding the loads and fixations applied to the different geometries.
...
configuration.symmetry.x configuration.symmetry.y configuration.symmetry.z | x-axis as symmetry plane (Y-Z-Plane). y-axis as symmetry plane (X-Z-Plane). z-axis as symmetry plane (X-Y-Plane). |
configuration.symmetry.coordinateSystem | If the symmetry is to refer to a local coordinate system, the following command must also be entered (Coordinate_system_1 is the name of the local coordinate system and can vary). |
configuration.maxConcurrentGPUSolvers | Maximum number of GPUs used by the optimisation (support GPUs: Nvidia Quadro Graphics Cards supported by CUDA Driver) |
configuration.buildSpace | Geometry used for the intersection with the Design Space to receive the nominal geometry |
configuration.offsetSpace | Geometry used for the intersection with the Design Space to receive the print geometry |
configuration.unitSystem | Used unit system |
configuration.eigenThreads | Number of CPU threads that can be used to build the matrix. At least two cores should always remain free. We recommend using 2-6 threads. |
configuration.complexity | Defines how complex the design is getting. More information here. |
configuration.solver.<name>.strategy | InternalCPU: CPU based solver ExternLegacy: External (GPU) solver |
configuration.solver.<name>.host | IP of the external solver, localhost for the same workstation. IP for cloud, for what the matrix is built locally and sent to the calculation unit. Large amounts of data can be moved with a corresponding amount of time. |
configuration.solver.<name>.port | Port which is used to access the CudaSolver. This can be selected arbitrarily, according to the specified value when starting the solver. (The default port for the Cuda service is 42001) |
automaticFunctionalFacesDetection.positiveNonDesignDirection=true false | Functional Surfaces are automatically detected. These areas grow during an optimisation to guarantee sharp edges and functional surfaces after the intersection. If all functional surfaces have a Machining Allowance applied to them, this option should be deactivated. |
