Opti Page
Macros available on the Opti page of the OptiStruct Utility menu.
Topology
- Generate Voxelmesh
- Creates voxels (hexa elements) from closed shell meshes.
- Hex-core
- Creates hybrid mesh for closed volume. The core portion of the volume will be meshed with hex elements, clearance between boundary and hex mesh will be meshed with BL + tetramesh + pyramid coupling.
- Design Space
- Shortcut to the Topology panel.
- Matfrac
- Setup a material fraction topology optimization.
- Reg. Volfrac
- Create regional volfrac responses combining several components, properties or materials.
Topography
- Design Space
- Shortcut to the Topology panel.
Shape
- Create Shapes
- Shortcut to the HyperMorph panels.
- Shape Variables
- Shortcut to the Shape panel.
Size
- Size Variables
- Shortcut to the Size panel.
- PBAR, PROD Opti.
- Define size optimization for multiple PBAR or PROD sections.
- CBAR, CROD Opti.
- Define size optimization for multiple CBAR or CROD elements with circular section.
Optimization Info
- Design Variables
- Create, review and edit Size (including Gauge) and Shape Design Variables.
- Design Constraints
- Review and edit optimization constraints.
Solution
- OptiStruct
- Shortcut to the OptiStruct panel.
- OSSmooth
- Shortcut to the OSSmooth panel.
- OSSmooth Volume
- Compute the volume enclosed by iso-density surface (Elements Displayed)
- After running OSSmooth this helps you to compute the true volume of the geometry recovered. The iso-surface must be displayed as elements. Use Nastran or STL format when running OSSmooth.
