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.
Descriptions for individual I/O Option Entries can be accessed by selecting from the links for each entry, listed
below in groups according to their purpose and alphabetically on the I/O Options Section page.
Descriptions for individual Subcase Information Entries can be accessed by selecting from the links for each entry,
listed below in groups according to their purpose and alphabetically on the Subcase Information Section page.
In order to prevent analyses from being carried out on badly discretized models, an element quality check
is incorporated into the pre-processing phase.
In order to prevent analyses from being carried out on models with poor material definitions, a material property
check is incorporated into the pre-processing phase. The material property check is controlled by the CHECKMAT parameter (see the PARAM input format).
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.
