Submitting an optimization process

To submit an optimization process, select OptimizationSubmitoptimization process name from the main menu bar. (You can also submit an optimization process by selecting the optimization process name in the Optimization Process Manager and clicking Submit.) Abaqus/CAE submits the optimization process using the settings defined in the optimization process editor. Click Monitor in the Optimization Process Manager to monitor the optimization process. For more information, see Monitoring your optimization process.

The optimization process appears in the Model Tree. The Optimization Process container includes a Jobs container that includes the Abaqus jobs executed during the optimization process. You can monitor an Abaqus job that is running by clicking the Monitor button from the top of the optimization process monitor. If your optimization process includes multiple models, the Optimization module creates an analysis job for each model and you must select the desired job to monitor. You can also view the monitor for the Abaqus jobs that completed during previous design cycles by clicking mouse button 3 on the job in the Model Tree and selecting Monitor. To terminate an optimization process, you must terminate the current Abaqus job. For more information, see Monitoring the progress of an analysis job.
