To influence the Strut Density even further, changes of the number of iterations, stress goal percentage and number of resolution levels can be made. These settings overwrite parts of the selection of the Strut Densityand the Shape Quality as they are only default settings for the ones described here. The table gives an overview of the default settings:
General Optimisation without a manufacturing method:
Input Commands | Explanation |
|---|---|
schedule.level.0.iterationCount = 198 schedule.level.1.iterationCount = 208 schedule.level.2.iterationCount = 208 schedule.level.3.iterationCount = 8 schedule.level.4.iterationCount = 17 schedule.level.5.iterationCount = 15 | Specify how many iterations are calculated at which resolution level. Note that convergence should be achieved at each level. Default settings medium: 19, 20, 20, 5 Default settings sparse: 15, 40, 4, 5 |
Default settings dense: 9, 10, 40, 5schedule.level.0.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0.05 schedule.level.1.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0.15 schedule.level.2.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0.3 schedule.level.3.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0.6 schedule.level.4.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0.9 schedule.level.5.eventSafetyCoefficient = 1 | Scaling factor for all events' safety factor. |
Optimisation with casting manufacturing method:
Input Commands | Explanation |
|---|---|
schedule.level.1.iterationCount = 20 schedule.level.2.iterationCount = 40 schedule.level. |
3. |
iterationCount = 20 | Specify how many iterations are calculated at which resolution level. Note that convergence should be achieved at each level. |
schedule.level.1.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0. |
3 schedule.level.2.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0. |
75 schedule.level.3.eventSafetyCoefficient = 1 | Scaling factor for all events' safety factor. |
Defaults for different Strut Densities: medium: 0.3, 0. |

The software uses four several resolution levels from coarse to fine (level 0: coarse - level 35: fine). The number behind the level indicates the number of iterations calculated on this resolution level. To remove or skip a resolution level the value can be set to 0. Moreover, the Event Safety Coefficient for each resolution level can be changed. This coefficient is a scaling factor for the safety factor.
