Dear Altair support team, Mr. Rahul R.,
I am working on optimization the vehicle crash box, I have some question about Hyperstudy / Hypermorph coupling for shape optimization.
As first figure below, I created 2 Shapes (yellow and green) by translating the handles in -X,+X direction to increase the taper angle.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
In HyperStudy, I defined the model type as HyperMesh, while I am importing input variables from HyperMesh, they ask me to identify the lower and upper bound once (as second figure below).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
In this study, I would like to have the design variables including crash box thickness, shape1 and shape 2.
Question
1. I seperated the shape into 2 because I have no idear to handle with them, can there cause any problem further?
2. If I want to keep the handle distance (+10,-10 in x direction) which is defined in the HyperMesh, Should I set up the input variables as following?
Variable 1 (dv_1) Lower= 0, Nominal = 0, Upper = 10
Variable 2 (dv_2) Lower= 0, Nominal = 0, Upper = -10
Are there correct?
Thank you for your calification.
Best regards,
Wisawanart
