  • Warning "The following component is not considered in this iteration:" makes you aware if one nondesign space is not considered in the optimization/in the iteration

  • Reasons for the Nondesign to tear off:

    • either no force or displacement is applied → no stresses are available for the stress optimization

    • or the force applied is too small

  • Solution possibilities:

    • Either it is a design proposal you can accept/even want to reduce the number of connecting points

    • Otherwise prevent the tearing off by:

      • set down the optimization stress goal

      • creating an extra load case in which fixations and loads are switched​

      • increasing the force so that the stresses and therefore the relevance of the nondesign space is increased

      • increase the complexity → more elements are available and a finer model is possible (takes more time)

    • If you are using the symmetry function and have setup the whole model, the optimizer won't use the symmetrical nondesign spaces and will notify you thereof - don’t worry everything is just as it is supposed to be

  • No labels
