Check the mass by using miniming volume as objective

moeen

Hi,

 

I want to minimize volume of a composite part but then after convergence i also want to see the total mass of the component.

How can i check that?

 

Thanks

Composite optimization should be done in three phase using OptiStruct.You can refer to below online tutorial.

OS-T: 3200 Design of a Composite Aircraft Underbelly Fairing

 

Refer webinar on composite optimization as keyword in Altair University Learning library.

For non composite material, the ideal way to check the change in mass is once the optimization is over is do an OSS smooth on the model and check the mass in HM through Tool-->mass calc and select all the elements.

just a general question. how can i find all my posted questions in altair forum? is there a place where all my asked questions are saved?
