No feasibility after ply shuffling optimization

Hi everybody,

 

I have problems reaching a feasible design at the last stage of the ply optimization. I am trying to minimize the displacement during the shuffling of the plys. After the first iteration the solver stops without a message in the Message log, if it is feasible or infeasible.

 

Did anybody had the same problem or can help me with this topic

 

Kind regards

    Hi Dean,

     

    Do you see any error or warning message at the end of the first iteration?

    Hi Prakash,

    thank you for your reply. I Have attached the output_file so you can see yourself. The only warning message I get during running the optimization ist :

     

    *** WARNING # 1569
     for element id = -10003.
     Thickness is zero for this composite. This will produce meaningless stress
     results and may cause singularity of the global stiffness matrix.

     

    What I am wondering about is that I had stacking optimiaztions with the same warning message, that ended in a feasible solution.

     

    I hope you can help me with this one

    Kind regards
