first of, thank you for the replies....
my problem was that i never found a tutorial on "free-shape optimization" that i actually understood, all i found was on topology and free-size....therein lies my problem...and i have gotten it all jumbled.
and yes I have access to optistruct.
what i did...
hello,
iam quite new to the optimization field and its a challenge to undertake this certain problem....
i wanted to know the exact procedure to perform a free-shape optimization of a certain component. i am already through with the meshing and static analysis of that component....but i was...
i'am using proE/mechanica to conduct static analysis and then fatigue analysis of a complex structure.
i'm a little naive about the procedure for a fatigue analysis analytically.
i conducted the static analysis using Al7075 and SAE 1045 and also the fatigue analysis using the static results. I...
