With expert settings the Advanced User Settings the optimization parameters can be influenced. These settings overwrite the selection of the Design type Strut Densityas they are only default settings for the ones described here.This These settings change the number of iterations as well as the stress percent goal on each resolution level.
To set up the expert settings the expert text box is needed. Inside the text box following options can be doneadvanced user settings the following options need to be defined in the advance user settings text field:
fOptimizer_switchAddRemove
number of resolution levels
iterations of each resolution level
stressPercentGoal of each resolution level
Input commands | Explanation |
UpSampleConfig fOptimizer_switchAddRemove=58 | Starting with iteration 58, elements are either added or removed and only every second iteration is saved. This is important for the iterations near to the end of the optimization. |
iteration .level_3=10" .level_2=10" .level_1=20" .level_0=30" | Specify how many iterations are calculated at which resolution level. Note that convergence should be achieved at each level. Default settings normal: 20, 20, 20, 10 Default settings massive: 10, 10, 20, 30 Default settings filigree: 15, 40, 4, 4 |
Optimizer_stressPercentGoal .level_3=10 .level_2=25 .level_1=50 .level_0=100 | The percentage at which the target stress is reached is set. Default settings normal: 30, 40, 90, 100 Default settings massive: 10, 25, 50, 100 Default settings filigree: 60, 90, 95, 100 |
