OptiStruct is a proven, modern structural solver with comprehensive, accurate and scalable solutions for linear and nonlinear
analyses across statics and dynamics, vibrations, acoustics, fatigue, heat transfer, and multiphysics disciplines.
The OptiStruct Example Guide is a collection of solved examples for various solution sequences and optimization types and provides
you with examples of the real-world applications and capabilities of OptiStruct.
Structure quarter symmetric pipe model with pretension bolt and a gasket seal, demonstrates the usage of gasket material
and gasket seal specific results for diagnostics.
The structural analyses of a cylinder head under various loading conditions can be accomplished by means of finite element
analysis using OptiStruct. The results, combined with each analysis concerning the different operating processes of the engine, can be separated
mainly into two parts.
This section presents optimized topology examples generated using OptiStruct. Each example uses a problem description, execution procedures, and results to demonstrate how OptiStruct is used as a design concept tool.
This section presents size (parameter) optimization examples solved using OptiStruct. Each example uses a problem description, execution procedures, and results to demonstrate how OptiStruct is used in size optimization.
