Viewing the Results

On the Results View tab of the MinVolume Design Study, do the following:
  1. Select the Initial column.

    The program updates the model with the initial dimensions in the graphics window.

  2. Review the Iteration 4 column.

    The column is highlighted in red because the constraints on von Mises stress and displacement are violated.

    Parameters Iteration 4
    DV1 10 mm
    DV2 10 mm
    DV3 35 mm
    Stress1 696.82 N/mm^2
    Displacement1 0.8134 mm
    Frequency1 315.7136 Hz
    Volume1 64022.3 mm^3
    You can select any iteration and view the corresponding design in the graphics window.
  3. Review the Optimal column.

    The column is highlighted in green because optimization was performed successfully.

    Parameters Optimal
    DV1 10.0156 mm
    DV2 21.95604 mm
    DV3 20.0825 mm
    Stress1 274.18 N/mm^2
    Displacement1 0.20722 mm
    Frequency1 274.5155 Hz
    Volume1 70484 mm^3
  4. Select the Optimal column.

    The program updates the model with the optimal dimensions in the graphics window.
