Hey,
how can I output weighted compliance in static analysis?
Did I need to activate it in control cards or something? Can't find it.
Thank you!
Hi,
Weighted compliance is an optimization output only.
You can build a 'dummy' optimization, and force zero iterations to calculate it, under opti controls. Then the weighted compliance will be computed.
Another option is taking the values and go to excel to calculate it.
thank you!
Which value for exel do you mean?
Found this in .out-file without chaniging anything:
Subcase Compliance Epsilon 1 6.481120E+02 -2.015214E-10 2 5.686093E+02 -5.914374E-10 3 6.476533E+02 -1.777104E-10 4 5.686258E+02 -6.589830E-10
Can I just sum up to get weigthed compliance here?
i should have een more specific. Yes, taking the compliance values from the .out file was my suggestion.
WCOMP is just
WCOMP = sum(wi * Ci), with i=1...number_loadcases
If your weighting factors are all 1.0, then just sum all the compliances. Otherwise, multiply by its weighting factor and sum-up.
Is the Compliance in Nmm?
yes. Compliance has units of Force*displacement.
