Multiple scenarios or model variations optimization

Dear All,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to inquire about the possibility of conducting optimization configured in hypermesh for Optistruct that takes into account various subcases of loads with slightly different model configurations.

Specifically, I am interested in exploring scenarios where I need to switch between different contact types, such as from slide contacts to tie contacts, and possibly introduce additional components formed by rigid elements. I am wondering if there is a way to configure these contacts or incorporate the extra components to behave differently in one subcase compared to another, all within the .hm model file.

Could anyone please provide guidance or suggestions on how I can achieve this flexibility in model configuration for optimization purposes within the Hypermesh environment?

Any insights or assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.
