How to couple Motionview and Optistruct in Hyperstudy, with flexible body thickness as a variable

Jin1

I am currently learning how to couple Motionview and Optistruct in Hyperstudy. I want to use the thickness of the flexible body generated by Optistruct as a variable and the stress of the flexible body as a response. Of course, the thicker the thickness, the smaller the stress may be. I just want to learn how to perform the operations I want to do in Hyperstudy for the convenience of future work.

The model is like this：

I encountered a problem building my model in Hyperstudy. When I was optimizing, Motionview did not recognize the flexible body I wanted. The model associations in Hyperstudy are as follows:

This is the result value of Hyperstudy optimization, which has not changed. It should be that the flexible body model is not related. How should I handle it? Is there any relevant reference material available

Hi @Jin1 ,

Since the results are similar, my assumption is that the flexbody h3d file is not being replaced with the new one. This is what I had done in the past.

Archive the MotionView model and place the contents (mdl file, flexbody, external graphics, etc) to the study location.

In the archived MotionView model, create a dataset and input the h3d string without the file path. Then in a text editor, open the .mdl. Update the previously made dataset string values to {Solver_Filename.path} +“Flexbody_Name”.

In the text editor, update the Flexbody Solver Data values to reference the dataset values.

In hyperstudy, run the OptiStruct model once (without running the MotionView model). Access the model resources and link the OptiStruct model that was created in the m_1 folder to the MotionView model.

The steps that I have mentioned are from an article that I have made. You can access the files here: Consumer Electronics Drop Testing. Part 4: HyperStudy Setup
