Support Triangle or Machine Tool Optimization with Ansys Mechanical and Ansys optiSLang in Ansys Workbench Software

You will get an overview about the usage of connecting Ansys optiSLang® process integration and design optimization software and Ansys Mechanical™ structural finite element analysis software in Ansys Workbench™ simulation integration platform.

The Support Triangle workshop shows a Sensitivity Analysis, and a Single-Objective Optimization of this Support Triangle.

The Machine Tool workshop shows a Sensitivity Analysis, a Multi- and Single-Objective Optimization of this Machine Tool.

Learning Outcomes:

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

• Apply Sensitivity and Optimization Wizards in Ansys optiSLang software to set up the Algorithms in Ansys Workbench platform.
• Conduct an Optimization on the MOP.
• Understand Information of the optiSLang Postprocessing for Sensitivity and Optimization.

Additionally, with following of the Support Triangle workshop, you will be able to:

• Define Continues and Discrete Parameters in Ansys optiSLang software.
• Additionally, with following of the Machine Tools workshop, you will be able to:
• Conduct a Direct Optimization.
• Reduce a Multi-Objective Optimization Problem to a and Single-Objective Optimization Problem using preferences (here constraints).

Prerequisites:

• • Basic knowledge about Ansys optiSLang software is recommended which can be obtained by attending the Ansys optiSLang Getting Started.
  • Besides Ansys optiSLang software, you should be familiar with Ansys Mechanical software and specifically with using Parameters (to learn more about Parameters, see Ansys Mechanical Parametric Solutions)
