The workshop demonstrates how to connect a parametric Ansys Discovery project to Ansys optiSLang® process integration and design optimization software for a parametric variation analysis using the Discovery node. For this workshop, we will conduct a Multi-Objective Optimization of a Truck Suspension System.

Learning Outcomes:

Following completion of this workshop, you will be able to:

• Connect a parametric Discovery project to Ansys optiSLang software. (Solver Wizard)
• Rename imported parameters and how to convert their units.
• Use the Optimization Wizards in optiSLang to set up the Multi-Objective Optimization.
• Change standard postprocessing to interactive with 3D plots.
• Find one of the optimal designs from the Pareto front and open it in Ansys Discovery™ 3D product simulation software.

Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge about Ansys optiSLang software is recommended which can be obtained by attending the Ansys optiSLang Getting Started. Besides Ansys optiSLang, you should be familiar with Ansys Discovery software.

Please note: These training materials were developed and tested in the 2023R2 release.
