With the Advanced User Settings the optimisation parameters can be influenced even further than the options Strut Density and Shape Quality. Furthermore, a few unsupported options are available using the Advanced User Settings like Restart, Usage and usage of a Startspaceand activate automatic Non-Design Growthduring the optimisation.
The Advanced User Settings can be added to a Scenario by right clicking on this and selecting the option as shown in the picture below.

schedule.level.0.iterationCount = 198 schedule.level.1.iterationCount = 208 schedule.level.2.iterationCount = 208 schedule.level.3.iterationCount = 8 schedule.level.4.iterationCount = 17 schedule.level.5.iterationCount = 15 | Specify how many iterations are calculated at which resolution level. Note that convergence should be achieved at each level. Default settings medium: 19, 20, 20, 5 Default settings sparse: 15, 40, 4, 5 Default settings dense: 9, 10, 40, 5 schedule.level.0.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0.3 schedule.level.1.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0.4 schedule.level.2.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0.9 schedule. level.3.eventSafetyCoefficient = 1 Scaling factor for all events' safety factor. Default settings medium: 0.3, 0.4, 0.9, 1 Default settings sparse: 0.6, 0.9, 0.95, 1 Default settings dense: 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1 |
The software uses four resolution levels from coarse to fine (level 0: coarse - level 3: fine). The number behind the level indicates the number of iterations calculated on this resolution level. To remove or skip a resolution level the value can be set to 0. Moreover, the Event Safety Coefficient for each resolution level can be changed. This coefficient is a scaling factor for the safety factor. More information about the safety factor, stress, failure criteria and resolution here.
