When setting up an OptiStruct optimization, it is often useful to be able to define a custom response. A DRESP2 can be used to combine existing responses to formulate an optimization constraint or objective. DRESP2 can be used with standard arguments for DRESP1 cards, such as sum, avg, max, and min. It also can be used…
OptiStruct can output a key performance indicator (KPI). It is a fast way to understand the maximum stress, strain, plastic strain, and displacement for subcases using a text file. This is useful for a quick summary of the results of a linear or nonlinear static analysis. Prerequisite: Set up a linear or nonlinear static…
The attached document gives an overview for how to interpret OptiStruct topology optimization results with an example. Guidance on how to generate more discrete designs with OptiStruct topology optimization is also included.
Read contents of h5 and hdf5 files and write them in Excel workbook When we are handling .h5 and .hdf5 files, which are useful for storing large amounts of data in any format, we may want to output all results into a more common file anyone can use (without any required knowledge). In this tutorial I’ll show how all the…
In this article, we provide step by step guide for generic harvester model particle separation simulation. Outline of exercise is as follow:
When you have a model with millions of elements/nodes it is not always really easy to manipulate it or work with it; That is why we have now in HyperWorks some presets which can help you to improve the performances. To access the presets you should go to File > Preferences > HyperMesh > Performance. You have 3 options for…
