Optimization of an Imported Bracket Geometry Tutorial Series

Application ID: 110521


In these tutorial series, we demonstrate how to use the Offset Faces and Transform Faces operations as a way to reparameterize existing holes in a bracket geometry imported from a STEP file. The mass of the bracket is minimized with limits for both the lowest natural frequency, and for the maximum stress in a static load case.

In the first tutorial dimension features are added to the geometry sequence to measure both the imported and the modified geometry. The parameters created by the measuring dimensions are used in parameter check nodes. These enforce the geometrical constraints during the optimization to maintain the design intent of the geometry.

In the second version of tutorial geometrical constraints are formulated as parameter expressions, and enforced during the optimization to maintain the design intent of the geometry.
