One of the most important Quality factor among all is the part weight.
I don't understand why the goal of the Moldflow DOE is to minimize the mass !!!!!!! and why can't we change that to maximize??
The minimum mass is given by functionnal and structural constraints (and very basic plastic part design rules).
The guys down in the workshop do a good job when they reach the maximum weight with acceptable internal constraints for a given geometry.

Any idea ??

Hi Luis-Philippe,
Within Midplane and Dual Domain, you can actually change the thickness, which would be a geometric change (see below)
However, beyond this point your point is valid; and certainly the comment on the dialogue stating that the lower the weight, the higher the quality, is certainly not necessarily true, and, as you pointed out in case gemoetric changes are not permitted, not correct. This should be corrected and we should allow the objecteve to be changed to maximize.

Hi Luis Philippe,
If you contact me per email (hanno.van.raalte@autodesk.com) I can pobably help you enabling a 'mazimize' condition, instead of the minimize.
