Hi,
I can not apply a Maximum Member Size Control for a Free-Size-Optimization.

In the DSIZE-Card it is possible to apply the Minimum Member Size, but the row for the Maximum Member Size is not available.
According the help-files the option to show the row should be available???

Thank you in advance.

    Hi,

    Free size optimization targets on thickness (minimum and maximum thickness range). Free size optimization will not create cavities (most of the cases).

    However, if you want to include Maximum dimension, you can do that manually by entering the value in the solver deck file.

    open the .fem file in a text pad, search for MEMBSIZ and enter the value.Please refer the picture below:

    above picture with only mindim (=1.00), below with maxdim (=2.00)
