Error id: 2150 in buckling topology optimization (massfrac)

I'm doing an optimization where I put the response as DRESP1 massfrac. In dconstraints, selected lower bound = 0,6 and upper bound = 0,7 and the following error appears in the solver:

 

*** ERROR # 2150 ***

 Invalid Volume or Mass Constraint.

 The response type is the total MASSFRAC

 the upper bound value =   7.000000E-01

      the total volume =   1.805255E+05

     the design volume =   1.660834E+04

        the total mass =   1.426151E-03

       the design mass =   1.312059E-04

 The design material fraction (percent) should be at least 3 times

 the DOPTPRM MINDENS (default 0.01)

 

 

 

Solver FAILED

 

optistruct:: Solver run finished.

 


Could anyone help me? 

Thanks

    felipeds,

     

    as the error says, you need to rethink your constraint - relax your constraints, change the upper bound etc. 

     

    you can calculate the mass fraction yourself with the values given, you will see that design cannot be done at such values. 

    Mass fraction = total mass at current iteration/initial total mass
