Optimizing standard tube thickness

Hello, I'm trying to optimize the mass of a steel tubular frame (PBEAML), I can only optimize the inner and outter radius via discrete design values.

I would like to select standard thickness dimensions for each outter radius. ¿How can I do this?

Thank you.

Hi,

you can specify in discrete dvs option as shown in image.

once you have created the discrete dvs, as pointed above, you will go to size desvars panel, and assign your ddval values to it.

For each variable that you want discrete values, you will need to assign it like this. (you can use the same, or a different one, depending on your requirements)
