Go to the boundary conditions tab to enter the loads and fixations as follows
- Objects "interface1L" and "interface1R" each experience Kraft1 Force: Object "auflage1" experiences a force of 18904 N in x-direction (conditions 1L, conditions1R).Objects "interface1L" and "interface1R" each experience a force of 17792 -20000 N in y-direction (conditions 2L, conditions2R).
- Objects "interface1L" and "interface1R" each experience a force of 15701 N in x-direction and 14137 N in y-direction (conditions 3L, conditions3R).
- Objects "interface1L" and "interface1R" each experience a force of 19483 N in x-direction (conditions 4L, conditions4R).
...
- Lager1 Fixation: Object "bohrung1" is fixed in x-, y- and z-direction (=0).
- Lager2 Fixation: Object "auflage1" is fixed in z-direction (=0) (dis1, dis2, dis3, dis4)..
- A total of 8 forces 1 force and 4 2 fixations should have been created as a result.

All boundary conditions are assigned to the load cases. The number of load cases can be changed using the "+" or "-" characters. The assignment of the boundaries to the load cases can be made in the boundary conditions or load cases area.
- Active in load case 1: dis1, dis2, dis3, dis4, conditions4L and conditions4R
- Active in load case 2: dis1, dis2, dis3, dis4, conditions1L and conditions1R
- Active in load case 3: dis1, dis2, dis3, dis4, conditions2L and conditions2R
- Active in load case 4: dis1, dis2, dis3, dis4, conditions3L and conditions3R
- Kraft 1, Lager1 and Lager2
Step 4: Definition of optimization parameters
...
- Choose the design type normal.
- Enter the optimization goal stress: 600 260 MPa
All Inputs can be viewed and checked in the configuration file. The file should look like this.
Step 5: Save the project
Step 6: Starting the optimization and visualizing the results
If all data are correct, the optimzation can be started and tracked in the results area.
All result iterations are displayed as soon as they are available. The progress of the optimization can also be monitored via the AMendate log file. Furtheremore you are able to stop the optimization in this selection area. A restart however is not possible without further expert settings.
The optimization is finished after 64 iterations (optimizationtype: optimizing).
