Re-Test Optimization Results with other CFAILURE Method

Hi Everyone,

 

I am once again here with another small question. Right now I have successfully optimized a Composite part using displacement and CFailure constraints. The CFailure type used was Hill.

Now I would like to test my last Iteration result with other CFailure types (Tsai-Wu and Puck!). How do I go about doing this?
I tried reimporting my result with OSSMOOTH but that gives me my first Iteration, not my last.

What would be the right course of Action?

 

Best Regards,

Lennart

    Hi @Turbokraken

     

    What type of optimization had you carried before?

    I am sorry, can you please explain what you have done exactly?

    Hi,

     

    before I did a SIze-optimization of a laminte.

    Using Ossmooth, I imported the FEM data and the SH data which I received in my OptiStruct Output Folder.

    This is strange, OSSmooth should take the last iteration. 

    Do you have the SZtoSH output .fem file?

    You have done size optimization are you want to proceed further with a different failure theory, correct?
