Shape optimization fails every time

[colin.mcdonald]

Hello all:

I know that the Inventor-style Shape Optimization is in preview now, but I'm having no luck with it at all.

  No matter how simple I make the problem, I always receive the same gnomic response: "Solver error; An error occurred while solving the model."

  Please see the two attached screenshots and the F3D file used to generate the errors.

  (Version 2.0.2727, MacOS 10.12.3, iMac.)

Thanks again, Colin

Hi Colin,

Our solver team recommended that the "Remove rigid body modes" option be unchecked.

To do this

1. Open file

2. Right Mouse Button (RMB) in the browser on Study 1 - Shape Optimization

3. Uncheck the option as shown in removerigidbody.png

Please see images. I have also attached a file where I tried this. You might have to resolve to see the results.
