Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
An exploration is a multi-run simulation. Each exploration includes input design variables, and output responses. Explorations may also include goals, consisting of an objective and constraints. Optimization explorations require an objective.
An input design variable is a system parameter that influences the system performance in the chosen output response. Typical design variables may be a part's thickness, shape, or material property. Ranges, with lower and upper bounds, are specified and the variable's value will vary within the exploration. The terms input, input design variable, and design variable are used interchangeably.
An output response is a measurement of system performances, such as mass, volume, displacement, stress, strain, or reaction forces.
Use the Mass/Volume tool to create mass or volume responses. The resulting response is the mass or volume of the entire model or the mass of an individual property. Available only for OptiStruct.
Use the Disps. tool to create displacement, rotation, velocity, or acceleration responses from selected nodes.
Use the Stress/Strain tool to create stress and strain responses for selected elements or properties.
Use the Force tool to create force responses from 1D elements or constraints.
Use the Frequency tool to create modal frequency responses. The resulting response is the frequency of the given mode number. In addition, a Modal Assurance Criteria (MAC) is created in the background and used to ensure that the desired mode is used in each run in the exploration.
Use the Derived tool to create responses which are combination of existing responses.
By default, all output responses are made active in the current exploration when they are created.
Remove output responses from the model.
Objectives are metrics to be minimized or maximized in an optimization exploration. Minimizing mass to find a lightweight design is a common example.
Constraints need to be satisfied for an optimization to be acceptable. Constraints may also be associated with a DOE. While not used in the evaluation of the DOE, constraints can be useful while visualizing DOE results. Limits on displacement or stress are common examples.
Use the Evaluate tools to run the exploration and review reports.
Examples show how to use the design explorer.
