Hi,
I'm working on a spherical Vacuum vessel (external pressure > internal pressure) using an isogrid structure. I made a shell model with sphere skin and additional ribs to have more stiffness and avoid buckling. Now, I'd like to perform a free-size optimization, to see if there are particular shapes and thickness distributions that minimize the mass of the system.
I tried different optimization sets (min mass + constraints on buck, min compl + constr on buckling and mass), but every optimization ends with 'Unfeasible design', with very large violations of buckling constraint.
Could you give some hints?
Thank you so much
Enrico
