In this case four forces and one moment are defined. The first two are applied on the retained volume and the last three on the faces of the interface that represents the connection to the sensor. Ensure to display the Design Space Solid to be able to apply Boundary Conditions.
Name | Force/Moment/Pressure/Gravity | Direction | Value in N; Nmm |
|---|---|---|---|
Force - Moment 1 | Force on Retained Volume | Fy; Fz | -1000; 1000 |
Force - Moment 2 | Force on Retained Volume | Fx; Fy; Fz | 600; -800; -200 |
Force - Moment 3 | Force on Non-Design Space | Fy | -500 |
Force - Moment 4 | Force on Non-Design Space | Fx; Fy; Fz | 150; -200; -100 |
Force - Moment 5 | Moment on Non-Design Space | Mz | -2000 |

Three constraints are created and attached on the Interfaces on the lower side:
Name | Direction |
|---|---|
Constraint 1 | x, y, z (=0) |
Constraint 2 | x, y, z (=0) |
Constraint 3 | x, y, z (=0) |

All result iterations are displayed as soon as they are available. Furthermore, you are able to stop the optimisation in this selection area. However, a Restart is not directly possible.
