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.
