- Evaluating Scenarios of Your Design
Evaluation Design Studies enable you to evaluate multiple designs automatically and obtain their results all at once. When there are many scenarios to run, it becomes impractical to run each simulation study manually.
- Evaluating Designs for Changing Loads and Model Dimensions
You use Evaluation Design Study to investigate the effect of changing the applied loads and some dimensions of the part on the static analysis results.
- Transient Thermal Stress Analysis
In the Thermal Stress Analysis lesson, you determined the stress at a specific time step of a transient thermal study. In this lesson, you study the effect of changing the time on the stress results.
- Design Evaluation of a Bicycle Frame
You perform a design evaluation for a lugged bicycle frame model with surface bodies representing the head tube, top tube, seat tube, down tube, chain stays, and seat stays. You define several scenarios with different material properties and loading conditions, and evaluate the frame's static response.
- Shape Optimization Through Design Study
A cantilever bracket is supported and loaded as shown. You perform an optimization to change the size of the central cut. The goal is to minimize the volume without exceeding maximum stress or displacement values. Also, the fundamental frequency must be within a specified range.
- Design Optimization of a Knob
You minimize the mass of a knob by defining the model dimensions as the variables and factor of safety as the constraint. Minimizing the mass reduces the cost of the part by reducing material while meeting your validation constraints.
- Topology Optimization of a Disk Brake
A Topology study performs nonparametric optimization of parts for an optimization goal, such as to minimize a part's mass.
