Reply To: Adjoint Method for Multi-Objectives with Two Simulation Cases

[Jason Sum]

Thanks Rob.

I saw that the tutorial demonstrating the shape optimisation with two output objectives (i.e. Drag and Lift) to be minimised or maximised under the same Boundary Conditions setup on the cylinder.

But what if in my case, the tesla valve geometry remains same but there are two solving cases (i.e. two separate ansys solving processes required to respectively solve the forward flow case and backward flow case), can Adjoint Solver still be used to optimize the geometry shape for maxmising forward flow and minimising backward flow?

I saw that the sensitivity data can be exported and further loaded for morphing. In my case, can the sensitivity data of the forward flow case be exported and loaded into the design tool interface (as shown below) of the backward flow case, so that the both sensitivity data can be integrated together for further shape optimisation (max. forward flow & min. backflow flow). 

 

Thanks and your further help is important to me!
