Evaluate designs by using geometric variables and applying a design-of-experiments (DOE) or optimization method. We
recommend fully constraining your sketch when sketch variables are used in the design exploration.
Set up your model and run a structural analysis or optimization.
Model Setup
Create connections and apply loads, constraints, materials, and manufacturing controls to your model.
Structural Analysis
Set up and run a linear static analysis using the SimSolid or OptiStruct solver. You can also analyze normal modes and buckling modes.
