Ply Stacking optimization ending without feasible/ infeasible design

Hi Everybody,

 

after performing an optimization straight to the ply stacking optimization, this last step of optimization ended without a feasible or an infeasible design. The output-file its attached, so you can see for yourself. Surprising to me is, that the ply stacking order is being shuffled, thus the output file doesn't name it a feasible design. Besides the simulation was performed on the same model, only the starting plythicknesses of the laminate where change in order to make sure, I am optimizing a global optimum.

 

I hope you guys can help me.

 

Kind regards for your help in advance.

    Hi Dean,

    Does the size optimization gave you  a feasible design output?

     

    What is the laminate type for size and shuffling?
