In a first step, you need to create a new project. All data (geometry and configuration) directly will be copied and saved in a new project-folder, located in your workspace:
- Start AMendate
- Create a new project using the symbol
- Enter a projectname and save the project
- Open the newly created project
...
- Upload all relevant stl files by clicking on the symbol in the objects/surfaces area
- select all stl files
- The field at the bottom shows notifications and and makes you aware of missing input
- The uploaded objects are listed in the objects/surfaces area.

Go to the boundary conditions tab to enter the loads and fixations as follows. For each boundary condition a name, a space and the specification of the boundary condition is entered as follows:
| Name |
|---|
- hand_zu force: Object "hand1" experiences a force of -200 N in y-direction.
- hand_auf force: Object "hand1" experiences a force of 200 N in y-direction.
- 0_bolzen force: Object "bolzen1" experiences a force of -5000 N in y-direction.
- 45_bolzen force: Object "bolzen1" experiences a force of -3000 N in x-direction and -3000 N in y-direction.
- 45_bolzen force: Object "bolzen1" experiences a force of -3000 N in x-direction.

| Object | Direction | Value in N | |
|---|---|---|---|
| hand_close | Eccentrichand1 | y | -200 |
| hand_open | Eccentrichand1 | y | 200 |
| 0_degree_bolt | Eccentricbolt1 | y | -5000 |
| 45_degree_bolt | Eccentricbolt1 | x y | -3000 -3000 |
| 90_degree_bolt | Eccentricbolt1 | x | -3000 |
| Name | Object | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Fixation_0degree1 | Eccentric0_degree1 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation_0degree2 | Eccentric0_degree2 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation_45degree1 | Eccentric45_degree1 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation_45degree2 | Eccentric45_degree2 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation_90degree1 | Eccentric90_degree1 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation_90degree2 | Eccentric90_degree2 | x, y, z (=0) |
- A total of 5 forces and 6 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 1Loadcase1: hand_zuclose, 0_degree_bolzenbolt, dis Fixation_0L 0degree1 and disFixation_0R0degree2
- Active in load case 2Loadcase2: hand_zuclose, 45_degree_bolzenbolt, disFixation_45L 45degree1 and disFixation_45R45degree2
- Active in load case Loadcase 3: hand_zuclose, 90_degree_bolzenbolt, disFixation_90L 90degree1 and disFixation_90R90degree2
- Active in load case 4Loadcase4: hand_aufopen, 0_degree_bolzenbolt, dis Fixation_0L 0degree1 and disFixation_0R0degree2
- Active in load case 5Loadcase5: hand_aufopen, 45_degree_bolzenbolt, disFixation_45L 45degree1 and disFixation_45R45degree2
- Active in load case Loadcase 6: hand_aufclose, 90_bolzendegree_bolt, disFixation_90L 90degree1 and disFixation_90R90degree2
Step 4: Definition of optimization parameters
...
The optimization is finished after 64 iterations (optimizationtype: optimizing).
Step 7: Visualization of Stresses
The legend can be influenced using the slider. The function "Automatically set to local minimum and maximum" considers the stressesof each iteration and sets the values from the current iteration.
Step 8: Visualization of Displacements
The legend can be influenced using the slider. The function "Automatically set to local minimum and maximum" considers the displacements of each iteration and sets the values from the current iteration.
