Example Guide Model Files

Hello,

 

My name is Benjamin, and I am currently using Optistruct for my masters thesis in the aviation sector. My work will incorporate a topology optimization with two materials, for which I am now trying to learn as much as possible about the software.

 

This led me to the help section of Optistruct where I found the two tutorials:

 

-OS-E: 0896 Multi-Material Topology Optimization of Automotive Cradle

-OS-E: 0897 Multi-Material Topology Optimization of Automotive Chassis

 

Unfortunately, as I understand it so far, the model files are not delivered with the student version of Hypermesh/Optistruct. Could you provide the files for me?

 

If you can think of yay further resources for Multi Material Topology Optimization I would be very thankful! A big question I am asking myself right now would be if there is a possibility to define the interface between the two materials used, e.g. by a stress constrain which should account for an adhesive stress limit.

 

Best regards,

Benjamin
