DOE on contact dimension

Hi,

 

I want to make a DOE of a contact distance(design variable) between two plates. The contact surfaces are represented by the interface of the blue and pink components (in the uploaded file). I want to create a parameter from the green fracture area to the beginning of the 2 blue areas. Finally, I want to observe the stress inside the plates according to this distance. 

 

What would be the best way to create this design variable ?

 

Is it possible to create a parameter on the geometry ? Is there a way to generate a new mesh with the appropriate contact ?

 

Thank you,

 

Benjamin

    Since you have contact involved in the model you can carry out non linear static analysis using Optistruct. For DOE use Altair Hyperstudy.

    Refer online Hyperstudy tutorials for DOE.
