Size Optimization.

Hi there, I'm new to Size optimization and I need some help. The problem I have is in the image below. I'm trying to minimize the thickness of this structure, to learn what minimum thickness is necessary to prevent failure in the structure. The default thickness is 20mm.

 

The problem I have is, I'm not sure what settings to input in the desvar panel to make this work. I can create responses and constraints, (I'm familiar with topology and topography optimization), but I'm new to Size optimization. The objective is to minimize the mass by uniformly minimising element thickness, how do I set this?
