OS-T: 3030 Random Response Optimization
In this tutorial you will perform a topography optimization with random response on a flat plate.
Launch HyperMesh and Set the OptiStruct User Profile
Import the Model
Set Up the Optimization
Define Topography Design Variables
For a topography optimization, a design space and a bead definition need to be defined.
In this step, the design space is composed of the shell elements with the property PSHELL_5. A minimum bead width of 0.4, a bead height of 1, and draw angle of 60 degrees is used in the bead definition. A 2-plane symmetrical pattern grouping constraint is defined to generate a symmetrical bead design.

HyperView is used to view the bead design generated from the topography optimization. “XYPUNCH, ACCE, PSDF/67(T1RM)” was used to output the PSD accelerations to punch files. The PSD plot from punch output can be viewed with HyperGraph. The RMS and peak PSD values are output to the .peak file and can be viewed with text editor.
