To influence the optimisation parameters even further, changes of the number of iterations 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 = 8 schedule.level.1.iterationCount = 8 schedule.level.2.iterationCount = 8 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.
|
The software uses six resolution levels from coarse to fine (level 0: coarse - level 5: 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.
To set up these additional parameters, the Input Commands (left side of the table) need to be added to the optimisation model in the Advanced User Settings text field. In the picture below an example is shown. By adding these Advanced User Settings, the first (coarse) resolution level will be skipped and the optimisation starts directly at the second level. You might want to add more iterations to the remaining levels to give the optimisation the chance to reduce the material accordingly and reach a convergence in each level.
