infeasible design resulting out of composite size optimization
Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble with a size optimization of a component I designed. The objective is to minimize the mass of the part while constraining the deformation at a single node to max 2 mm (+ and -). The result of the free-size optimization gave me a deformation of 1.6 mm and the size optimization always fails with an infeasible design. The program seems to delete all of the plies leaving it with only two, which are predefined by a constant constraint in the free-size design variable.
I tested it with the ply sets altered for manufacturing and also tried it with the base sets, which I got from the free-size optimization. Neither works. Both fail after the 3rd iteration with the 2nd and 3rd one being seemingly the same.
I have attached one of the .out-files.
