The Siemens Community Catalyst program was co-created with our community to acknowledge technology leaders who consistently contribute to the Siemens Community. Nominations are accepted on a rolling basis.
In SIMP algorithm we used Penalty factor (p), where can we see this value in hypermesh?
OptiStruct defines this penalty factor as DISCRETENESS factor. You can control the DISCRETE value in the 'opti control' panel of HyperMesh.
Take a look at the documentation of OptiStruct for 'Design Variables'.
