Hi there, 

 

I am up to the second phase of optimization for size to shape of a carbon fiber monocoque chassis. However when I run the file, it is only producing an analysis, and not running through any iterations. This makes me think that somewhere I've set it up wrong but I can't figure out where.

 

I am quite pressed for time, so any help indicating where I've gone wrong would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Model and related files attached

 

Cheers 

Laura

    Hi Laura,

     

    Make sure you have changed the Run option from analysis to optimization.

    Hi there,

     

    Yes, I have ensured that I am running the 'optimization' and NOT the 'analysis'.

     

    It runs through and says iteration 0 (As read in the .out file). However, it says job completed after the 0th iteration. Its like its only performing the analysis and not optimizing anything. 

     

    The .out and .fem file are attached
