You use a similar workflow to create evaluation studies and optimization studies.
To create a design study:
Purge Results
Deletes the results but keeps the definition of the study.
Define Design History Graph
Plot a 2D graph of a design variable, objective (goal), or constraint with respect to the scenario number if you defined only discrete variables.
Define Local Trend Graph
Plot a 2D graph of an objective (goal) or a constraint with respect to a design variable. The plot is not available if you use the High Quality option for study quality and you define discrete variables only.
Contents
When using simulation data sensors in a Design Study, you create at least one initial study. Initial studies represent the basis for the optimization or the evaluation process. During each iteration, the program runs these studies with modified variables.
The following tables summarize the expected results for combinations of study quality and variables.
Define constraints to specify the conditions that your design must satisfy. The constraints can be driven global variables or sensors for mass properties, dimensions, and simulation data.
Define goals to specify your objective functions for the Optimization Design Study. (Not available in SOLIDWORKS Standard and SOLIDWORKS Professional.)
Click the Results View tab to see the results of the study you run.
