Buckling

Dears,

When optimising using the Minimum Mass Method, is Inspire taking the buckling phenomena into account, or is it purely optimising for yield stress?

Thanks!

    Hi Gilbert,

    thanks for joining our forum and that interesting question!

     

    Technically, you can't run a topology optimization to reduce/controle buckling, as this is a highly nonlinear behaviour combined with the mathematics in the background of Inspire.

    If you really have to optimize this nonlinear faliure somehow, you may have a look into Altair Hyperworks (much more powerfull but also complex) and reduce your model into a 2D representation.

     

    Hope this help!

     

    Best Regards

    Felix
