Setup an optimization solver deck to get solution proposals.
Solving any engineering problem using simulation can be done in two ways; iterative
changes until reaching a solution, or using Optimization. The objective of the
Optimization feature in SnRD enables the CAE analyst to
seamlessly setup an optimization run based on analysis performed in the
Post Processing and Sensitivity
Analysis steps.
The objective is to reduce the relative displacement between selected components
targeting the most contributing mode(s) identified during the diagnosis phase. Two
optimization methods are proposed and supported in SnRD:
Topology Optimization- Systematic problems
Free Size Optimization- Non Systematic problems
Below is an workflow illustration for optimization deck setup-Figure 1.
