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:
Input Commands | Explanation |
|---|---|
schedule.level.0.iterationCount = 19 schedule.level.1.iterationCount = 20 schedule.level.2.iterationCount = 20 schedule.level.3.iterationCount = 5 | 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, 5 |
schedule.level.0.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0.3 schedule.level.1.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0.4 schedule.level.2.eventSafetyCoefficient = 0.9 schedule.level.3.eventSafetyCoefficient = 1 | Scaling factor for all events' safety factor. Default settings medium: 0.3, 0.4, 0.9, 1 Default settings sparse: 0.6, 0.9, 0.95, 1 Default settings dense: 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1 |
The software uses four resolution levels from coarse to fine (level 0: coarse - level 3: 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. More information about the safety factor, stress, failure criteria and resolution here.

The maximum iteration number from the chosen Shape Quality (Preview: 16, Balanced: 64, FineTune: 70) can only be exceeded with an additional command:
schedule.iterationLimit = 72 |
Restart (Start Space)
With the Advanced User Settings a Restart is possible. A Start Space needs to be chosen with which the optimisation will re/start.

This automatic growing can be deactivated with the Advanced User Settings command below:
configuration.autodetection.positiveNonDesignDirection = false |
