Analysis Readiness

The following Analysis Readiness offenses apply to Generative Design Scenarios:

Design Part Category Offenses

Invalid Design Part:

The design part requires a single solid body for the solver. Empty parts, non-solid bodies, or multiple solid bodies cannot be analysed. This is an Unready offense. To remedy this situation, modify the part to make sure it has a single solid body using Boolean operations for example.

Missing Design Region:

The solid or cell(s) within the design part are defined as non-design regions, so no design region is available in the solver. This is an Unready offense. To remedy this situation, make sure that there is a design region in the design part.

Non-Existing Design Part:

There is not a design part associated to the study. It cannot be analysed without a design part. This is an Unready offense. To remedy this situation, define a design part and associate it to the study.

Missing Material Assignment:

No material has been assigned to the design part. Without a proper material specification for the design part, it cannot be analysed. This is an Unready offense. To remedy this situation, assign a material to the design part.

Missing Material Property:

A material is assigned to the design part which is missing critically required material property data values. This is an Unready offense. To remedy this situation, make sure that Young's Modulus (E), Poisson's ratio, and Density are specified for the design part's material.

Environment Category Offenses

Missing Constraints

This offense exists when no constraints are contained within the current context. A static analysis of this model will fail due to mechanisms.
This is an Unready offense. If the source is constraints not applied, apply a set of constraints which will hold the structure in all three degrees of freedom and prevent a failure of the solver due to mechanisms. If the source is constraint association missing from scenario, edit the scenario so that at least one constraint is associated.

Missing Loads

This offense exists when critically required loads are lacking within the current environment.

This is an Unready offense. If the source is no loads applied, no loads exist in the current loading environment. Include one to remedy the offense. If the source is load association missing from scenario, edit the scenario so that at least one load is associated.

Suspect Load Definition

A load is present within the environment which is defined in such a way that may not yield the intended result.

This is a Suspect offense. If the source is zero magnitude static load, this static load has a magnitude of zero. It will not provide any energy input to the system.

Invalid Load Definition

A load is present within the environment which is not fully or validly specified.

This is an Unready offense. If the source is undefined load, this load is applied to the system, but its definition is not adequate for solver submission. Complete the definition or change to a different definition to remedy this offense.

Simulation Category Offenses

Undefined Stress Goal:

The stress goal is not defined in the current scenario and the solver cannot proceed. This is an Unready offense. To remedy this offense, specify a value for the stress goal in the generative design scenario.
