If you've ever tried to manually optimize (a.k.a guess and check) BUSH and BEAM elements, which often represent fasteners, you know it is a very painstaking task. In this video you'll learn the step by step process of how this task may be automated.

Specifically, HyperWork's Design Explorer can be used to rapidly perform a design of experiment (DOE) on BUSH and BEAM elements to gain an understanding of how their parameters affect the performance. Then take this knowledge and create an optimization to fine tune their parameters to meet design requirements.
