Support Forum,
Can anyone help me better understand the definition of Compliance and why we would use it in our models either as a constraint or as an objective function? Should the value of the constraint be a 0 to 1 value or any larger number? Compliance I know is designated as Strain Energy...am I the one choosing the units for that value? Is it better used as a constraint or an objective? If I want to use it in a dual thermal/structural loading model, should I use compliance/temperature as the constraint/objective? I'm really just looking for more help on this. My supervisor is asking a lot of questions about it and I don't have many answers. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
