In this procedure, you define seven different scenarios manually. You use the Table View tab and perform an Evaluation Design study because there are no goals to optimize. Each scenario is a set of values given to the parameters you defined at the beginning of this example. These parameters are: FTotal, Height, HangerThickness, and BackPlateThickness.
-
On the Table View tab of the hanger Design Study, under Variables section, select FTotal from the list.
The parameter appears in the Variables section.
- Similarly, select the parameters Height, HangerThickness, and BackPlateThickness in the Variables section.
- Enter the variable values below for the seven design scenarios.To add a scenario, select the scenario check box.

You can also clear the check box in a scenario's column if you do not want the results for that scenario.
-
Under Constraints, add the following:
-
For the vonMises stress sensor, select Is less than and for Max, type 500 N/mm^2.
You do not want the maximum von Mises stress in the model to exceed 500 MPa.
- For study, select Partial
- Add sensors Stress 1 to Stress 4.Select Monitor Only for condition, and Partial for the study name.
The program monitors the values of these sensors without imposing any constraints.
You have defined a total of five entries under Constraints including the vonMises sensor.
