Hello all

I am doing a optimization on chassis assembly. RBE2 Elements used to represent Welds and  bolts. I want to add the elements (hexa and penta) which are connected with RBE2 elements in the non design space. Please help me how to add this in non design space. Optistruct have any option to add those element automatically.

    Hi Arun,

     

    Create a separate component and move the elements for optimization to this component, use this component(s)/property as design variable and rest of the elements will be non-design elements.
