Beam Cross Section OPtimisation

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out how to set up hyperworks to find the optimal beam shape (type T, L, I etc) for a stiffened  thin wall construction (i.e. plates stiffened with beam). Supposing that the position of the siffeners is known -thus no topology optimisation is needed (?), how can optistruct determine the optimal beam type and then perform size optimisation to reduce beam flange and web thicknesses??

Thanks in advance!!!!

    Hi,

    You can refer below Optistruct tutorial.

    OS-4040: Size Optimization of a Shredder

    Even you can try Hyperstudy for size optimization.
