Model Generation and Visualization of an Analysis

Both optimization results and original components can be analyzed. After both analysis have been performed, the results can be compared and the performance of the optimization can be evaluated.

For the analysis of an object, the model generation is carried out exactly as for an optimization. All required files (Design/Nondesign space) are imported and the corresponding boundary conditions and load cases are created. The object to be analyzed must be activated as a design area in the Objects/Surfaces area.

The Optimization area does not have to be filled in, but the configuration file must be opened in this area and the command "onlyFEM" added under "User Settings". This only performs an analysis without optimization.

In addition, the resolution can be changed under FEM to achieve more accurate results. The resolution of an optimization / analysis is always estimated according to the stl with the largest volume within the working folder. If the stl file of the original design space remains in the folder, the resolution is determined by this volume.

The result of the analysis shows the stresses and displacements in the selected object.
