This tool is used to define the optimization Objective.

Description

  1. The following objective types are supported.
    • Minimize
    • Maximize
    • MinMax
    • MaxMin
  2. In minimize and maximize optimization setup if subcases are defined and if the response selected as Objective is subcase dependent then, we should select the load case in which the response should be used.
  3. In MaxMin and MinMax optimization multiple objectives can be defined for optimization.
