Design Optimization Anyone?

[bryan_mcnatt]

Has anyone here used Algor's Design Optimization function?  Know of any good tutorials or examples?  I've worked through the example in Help and I've read all the help on all the optimization topics.  It's still not real clear to me how to implement this tool on my own test cases.  I don't think it's explained or described very well in the Help.

Hi,

What is your test case? Be sure to indicate the analysis type, whether you are using beam or plate elements, and anything else to help us understand the Finite Element Model.

What are some of the things that you need help understanding? If we can explain these things, then you will be on your way! (Providing other sample models or tutorials may still not address your particular issues.)
