Inspire Design Explorer - Gauge variables

Paulo_Liborio

Dear community,

I'm setting up a design of experiments study using Inspire Design Explorer but I'm missing a fundamental feature: gauge variable for parts defined by surfaces only.

They're not automatically available as design variables.

There's no option to set it up from the Property Editor like some other variables:

And although I managed to retrieve the thickness information through from the part Python property sheetThickness, I can't use it as a design variable:

Any suggestion? I must be missing something…

HyperMesh isn't an option - the goal is to vary geometric parameters on top of the gauges. I would also like to avoid going into parametrized files in HyperStudy.

Thanks!

Hi @Paulo_Liborio,

You are correct in that parameters under the Mass Properties heading do not look to be able to be assigned as a Variable for use in the Design Explorer in this current release.

Gauge Optimization can be carried out using the Optimize Part tool:

Gauge optimization can be run on its own or concurrently with topography optimization.

For more on Gauge Optimization, please refer to the following Help Documentation

Hope this helps!
