I have a cantilever beam, which is fixed at one end. I want to apply two moments at two different points and measure the end deflection. So, for optimization, I have 3 parameters, namely, moment1 (M1), moment2 (M2), and tip deflection (X).
I want to "seek target" the tip deflection by say x units in perpendicular to beam length.
Further, I want to put constraint on the moments such that M1 = -M2.
How to put this kind of dependent parameters in "optimization" using Design Xplorer.
