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:
- Kraft1 Force: Object "auflage1" experiences a force of -20000 N in y-direction.
...
| Name | Object | Direction | Value in N |
|---|---|---|---|
| Force | Hookinterface1 | y | -20000 |
| Name | Object | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Fixation1 | Hookborehole1 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation2 | Hookinterface1 | x, y, z (=0) |
- A total of 1 force and 2 fixations should have been created as a result.
All boundary conditions are must be 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: Kraft 1, Lager1 and Lager2Loadcase1: Force, Fixation1 and Fixation2
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.
