Hello,
I previously, interfaced ANSYS and MATLAB. I used finite element code in MATLAB for a certain design. After optimizing the design in MATLAB, I saved the results (thickness of each element) in a .dat file, and using APDL, I read that file and constructed the same design on ANSYS to...
Hello,
I am working on optimizing a compliant gripper. I use 2d plane frame static analysis code.
I have around 50 elements, and I am using Genetic Algorithms with thickness as the variable to be optimized. So, the code will find the best 50 thicknesses for my best gripper design.
After I get...
Hello,
If I have a function called Myfunc, and I want to minimize it.
I am trying: [X fval] = fminsearch(@Myfunc, X0)
It minimizes the result, but everytime I run it again it gives me a lower value. So im not reaching the local minimum.
I tried [X fval] = fminunc(@Myfunc, X0), but the...
Hello, I am working on a code on MATLAB 7.0. It takes me about 5 hours for my program to run once.
I am working on optimization, so I have some functions that are called thousands of times.
I read about vectorizing the code, but im dealing with sophisticated loops and im not sure if they can...
Hello,
I am working on a compliant gripper. I optimized the gripper for maximum displacement using MATLAB. The optimized parameter is the thickness of each element.
I am having trouble modeling it with ansys. I have around 54 elements.
I tried at first to create 1 plane82 element type and...
Hello, I have a system that I want to model as 2D beam elements.
I already tried to model it, but I found out I can only specify one thickness for all the elements of "beam" type. The problem is that each element in my system has a different thickness.
So, how can I resolve this issue ? Do I...
Hello,
This is my first post. Sorry if im posting in the wrong place, but I didnt know how to find an ANSYS forum.
I need to model a compliant gripper with ANSYS. I got a set of optimum thicknesses (the best thickness for each element) which would produce maximum displacement at the output of...
