C=allowed for controller-based
optimization (bead, shape and topology); S=allowed for sensitivity-based
topology optimization; F=allowed for the design responses that use the
element-based reaction and internal forces; Z=allowed
for sizing optimization
* = shell elements admitted
for sizing optimization
|
For shape and bead optimization only nodes belonging to elements supported
by SIMULIA Tosca Structure
can be used as design nodes, see About Design variables (DV_SHAPE)
and Design variables (DV_BEAD)
for details.
More solver specific information about Sensitivity based algorithm is found in Remarks for Sensitivity-Based Optimizations.
For sensitivity based bead optimization, see Special Remarks Using Sensitivity-Based Algorithm.
In ANSYS elements with pressure degrees of freedom are supported for acoustic analyses in context of NVH optimization.
