How do I access DCONADD through Hypermesh interface? I am trying to run optistruct optimization while turning on/off certain responses & constraints.

I am trying to run an Optistruct optimization with several active design constraints. I would like to see the effect of the outcome by turning certain constraints on or off. I have tried turning off the visibility of the constraints in the model tree and exporting only "visible." components to Optistruct but it doesnt work. I know that in the control deck, the DCONADD is the card that controls the constraint activations, however I dont know how to access this from the Hypermesh GUI interface.

You could od this 2 ways, at least:

The the optimization view/browser to create and manage different optimization problems/scenarios, with different constraint sets.

Or using the Entity State Browser to activate/deactivate export of your constraints.

Thank you. I was able to find the entity state browser and activate/deactivate as needed! I was however unable to find the optimization view/browser. Can you tell me how to find this?
