- Choose the design type normal
- Enter the optimization goal stress: 50 MPa
- Set the symmetry settings: XYZ-Axis Plane and Z-Axis. The X-Axis symmetry constraint is used to span a plane along the y- and z-axes in the coordinate origin.
...
- XY-Plane
- Open Result File Formats. The following result files should be activated:
- stl File: results of each iteration in stl file format
- stl Files Intersected: result of each iteration intersected with the design space in stl file format
- ply Files with Stress: results with the information of stresses of each iteration (must be activated to show the results in the Visualization space)
- ply Files with Displacement: results with the information of displacements of each iteration (must be activated to show the results in the Visualization space)
- More information on result file formats here
All Inputs can be viewed and checked in the configuration file. The file should look like this.
Please make sure only one .amendate file is in your project folder.
- You can always change the design type, stress and solverMaxMemory to influence the results and try out different options. You can find further information here.
Step 5: Save the project
Step 6: Starting the optimization and visualizing the results
...
The legend can be influenced using the slider. The function "Automatically set to local minimum and maximum" considers the stressesof stresses of each iteration and sets the values from the current iteration.
