Optimization
...
Using the previously defined materials and boundary conditions, an analysis can already be performed for the selected geometry. In order to carry out a geometry optimization, further parameters must be set.
Optimization Goal
Then the optimization target must be defined. With AMendate, a target stress is specified that serves as the reference during optimization. For this purpose, a fatigue strength value of the material can be used and provided with an additional safety factor. The software does not take any safety factors internally into account when determining the design. This must be included in the maximum stress by the engineer. Through the stress-oriented optimization, an optimally uniformly loaded component is developed, in which above all the transitions between struts and surfaces are formed optimally and with few stress increases. The standard unit of stress MPa = Nmm^2 corresponds to the previously mentioned system of units
