Optimization using Transient Response Analysis

Hi,

Can you share the entire .out file?

I might be pairing transient analysis with a wrong optimization response.

Hi,

It is not possible to run a optimization with transient subcase. 

Frequency response subcase is supported.

Is there a reason why optimization with frequency response is possible but with transient response it isn't?

Prakash,

Optistruct uses SIMP method for optimization.  SIMP method generally can be used paired with Transient Response.  That leaves me assume that transient response optimization is physically possible, but is not supported in Optistruct.  

Is that because of a problem with the algorithm or that transient response is simply omitted from optimization?

Hi,

Currently this feature is not supported.Its on roadmap for future release. once this is available we will update you.

Hi Rahul,

Does it supported in Hyperworks 14? or still not supported by the software.

Not supported in 14.0
