With the Advanced User Settings the optimisation parameters can be influenced even further than the options Strut Density and Shape Quality. Furthermore, a few unsupported options are available using the Advanced User Settings like Restart, Usage of a Startspace, Symmetry and preventing an Intersection.
The Advanced User Settings can be added to a Scenario by right clicking on this and selecting the option as shown in the picture below.

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 optimisation. |
iteration .level_3=20 .level_2=20 .level_1=20 .level_0=4 | Specify how many iterations are calculated at which resolution level. Note that convergence should be achieved at each level. Default settings balancedmedium: 20, 20, 20, 4 Default settings sparse: 16, 40, 4, 4 Default settings dense: 10, 10, 40, 4 |
Optimizer_stressPercentGoal .level_3=30 .level_2=40 .level_1=90 .level_0=100 | The percentage at which the target stress is reached is set. Default settings balancedmedium: 30, 40, 90, 100 Default settings sparse: 60, 90, 95, 100 Default settings dense: 10, 25, 50, 100 |
