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.
Taylor TestAn elastic-plastic cylindrical bar impacts a rigid planar target with a high velocity (120-266 m/s). Verify the deformation
results with the real test results.
MacNeal-Harder TestA twisted cantilever beam solved with solid and shell elements using Explicit Analysis. A twisted beam model is made
with each element type to investigate the effect of distorted elements with a high aspect ratio.
OS-V: 1200 Bar Impact Taylor TestAn elastic-plastic cylindrical bar impacts a rigid planar target with a high velocity (120-266 m/s). Verify the deformation results with the real test results.
OS-V: 1205 Twisted Cantilever Beam (Explicit Results) MacNeal-Harder TestA twisted cantilever beam solved with solid and shell elements using Explicit Analysis. A twisted beam model is made with each element type to investigate the effect of distorted elements with a high aspect ratio.
