Sandwich Analysis
Hi There ,
I'm engaged in the project of chassis design for a vehicle for the FSAE competition and i have to make the chassis with a sandwich (CFRP - Foam) material , since hyperworks (OPTISTRUCT) will help doing the analysis , i started making a plate and making plies with CFRP (MAT8) and PCOMPP card image then a Core(MAT1) with PSOLID property , also i make laminate with the plies . i applied the load with constrains then loadstep with both and i check CSTRAIN and CSTRESS Properties for the analysis but since i start the analysis there is no iterations made and only the one displacement result appear , i tried alot to change in the structure but still no iterations ,
Here is what i have and there is a copy of the hm file attached
The Results
Iteration Subcase Variable Grid/Elem ID Value
---------------------------------------------------------
0 1 MaxDisp 12205 -0.285887E-02
0 1 MaxStress 5725 -15.0120
The amount of memory allocated for the run is 331 MB.
This run will use in-core processing in the solver.
ANALYSIS COMPLETED.

Hi mmramadan,
The analysis is completed and you can view the results.
I don't see any errors

Thanks prakash , but why i can't see more than one iteration for the analysis ?!

Yes, because you are only running analysis and not optimization, ryt?

I've changed only the magnitudes of the loads and then when i run the optimization analysis i got the same thing again , i attached an image of the results also

Hi,
Can you share the model files please?
Use the dropbox link in my signature below to share the files.

Done

Hi,
I have your model with me but I dont see any optimization parameters in your model. So that is why only analysis is done instead of Optimization.

So please could you give me an example to apply an optimization parameter

Hi,
Did you define any Design variable , design Response , design constraint or Design Objective?
If not please refer Optistruct optimization tutorials.

Hi mmramadan
i am designing a chassis for FSAE competition in China.
i think i am facing the same problem with yours and i do not know how to solve this.
could you please tell me how did you solve your problems
thanks for the help:)
