Minimize Mass
Minimizing mass is one of several optimization objectives, and is available with topology, and gauge optimization.
Minimizing Mass for Topology Optimization
- Stress Constraints - applied using the Run Optimization window and specified in terms of a safety factor.
- Frequency Constraints - applied using the Run Optimization window.
- Displacement Constraints - applied using the
Displacement Constraints tool.Note: Once optimization is complete, the best result when minimizing mass is generally found by dragging the topology slider to the far right in the Shape Explorer.
Minimizing Mass for Gauge Optimization
- Stress Constraints - applied using the Run Optimization window and specified in terms of a safety factor.
- Displacement Constraints - applied using the Displacement Constraints tool.
- Frequency Constraints - applied using the Run Optimization window.
