Dear Sir or Madam,
I contact you to get some information and adivces regarding my Inspire model that contains several solid parts:
1/ In order to increase the representativeness of my simulations, I would like to configure the connections between different parts by specifying for instance the allowed d.o.f. for a given connection. Is it something achievable on Inspire ? (Because for the moment, all the parts are -by default- simply 'glued' one to the other according to the initial CAD model)
Otherwise, what are the best way(s) to simulate these connections ? (By using connectors or forces, for instance ?)
2/ For an optimization, is there a way to specifiy directly or undirectly a maximal constraint value for the entire volume (or the design space or at least some specific points) along one direction, or a Von Mises value for instance ? (I am not sure about this but I think it might be possible on HyperMesh and not on Inspire, isn't it ?)
Otherwise, how to take it into account for the optimization constraints? (For the moment I have specified some general displacement constraints at given points but is it possible to better constrain it ?)
Thank you very much in advance for your time and your answers,
Best regards,
