General
Course Summary:
In this course the user will learn how to use SimLab and its integrated solver OptiStruct to solve Design Optimizations (Topology and Free Shape Optimizations) of volume structures.
Prerequisites:
Advanced knowledge about SimLab. Ideally attended the SimLab Introduction and the SimLab Meshing and Modeling Course. Programming knowledge (Python) is not needed.
Goals and Objectives:
- Topology Optimization
- Design/Non Design
- Design Constraints (thickness, symmetry, manufacturing constraints)
- Optimization responses and objectives (mass, stress)
- Optimization Solution and Results
- Exporting optimized model and Re-Analysis
- Free Shape Optimization
- Design Space
- Constraints, Responses, Objectives
- Solution and Re-analysis
