Difference MINDIM, MINMEMB

Altair Forum User

Hello 

 

Is there a difference if you set MINDIM or MINMEMB? You can go either to Analysis>Optimization>Topology>Parameter and then change minmemboff to mindim with a value, which will assign it to the Design Variable Property. Or you can go to Analysis>Optimization>Opticontrol and set MINDIM with a value, which creates a new optimization control named 'optistruct_opticontrol'.

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,

 

Both are same. Both are used to eliminate small members during optimization.
