Update in case Alice is included

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 Startspaceand disable automatic Non-Design Growthduring the optimisation.

...

To influence the Strut Density even further, changes of the number of iterations, Event Safety Coefficient and number of resolution levels can be made. These settings overwrite 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:

...

This way a two-stage optimisation is also possible. For a two-stage optimisation the resolution level and number of iterations must be chosen wisely and will need some fine tuning.

A Start Space can be marked as a Non-Design Space, thus the Start Space cannot be removed during the optimisation and will be part of the final design. Therefore, the following commands (where StartCandidate is the name of the Start Space file) need to be added as well:

geometry.StartCandidate.path = StartCandidate.stl
nonDesign.StartCandidate.geometryName = StartCandidate

Activate Automatic Non-Design Growth
