Hello, I have done a 3-point bending simulation of a composite and now I want to optimize the number of layers by using direct optimization. During the initial simulation, I changed the 3 contacts to frictionless (two) and frictional (one) but the contact settings in the Static structural module are not updated during the optimization runs and it is updated as bonded contact during the optimization. I want to know if there is some method through which the initial contact settings are not changed during the optimization runs. Thank you.

Have you turned on Beta option?

No I am not aware of any such option. Can you please guide how its done and why to do it?

Hello Ashish,

I am doing direct optimization using MOGA for a multi-objective problem. I have about 5 objectives to maximize simultaneously. The point is , I need to give each of them a different periorety than the others. I don't know how to do it on MOGA. I will be grateful if you help me with this issue.

Greetings
