DFR optimization

Altair Forum User

Hi,
I'm trying to create a response (frf displacement) for DFR solution, but when I create an objective or dconstraint using this response, I get an error message:

 

Selected subcase ('Name') is not compatible with the type of response.

 

here is the information about subcase and loads:

 

SUBCASE       1
  LABEL DFR_100Hz                                                                       
ANALYSIS DFREQ
  FREQUENCY =      100
  DLOAD =      300

so, the analysis is ok, but how can i create an optimization for it?

 

Thanks.

 

(P.S. version of optistruct i use is 12 and 13)

Hi,

Please check below post for your query.

Thanks, I've already check for this way of solution, but it does not help. Both loadstep and response were created using analysis page.

Could you share us the input deck(.fem File)?

Yes, for example this one:

 

model_to_ask.fem

 

everything is already inside, but objective is not created. A target is to maximize stiffness with thickness distribution (using current mass).
