I'm referring to dimension parameters. I'm trying to optimize a complex shape that is easier to model in a CAD package. Then I want to use the ansys design optimizer to adjust the dimensional parameters to find the optimal solution.
Is there a way to use the Ansys design optimizer if a imported CAD file or Workbench file is used? I am having trouble finding the parameters after importing them into Ansys. Thanks
I am using Ansys 11 to optimize the design of a firtree attachment for a turbine blade similar to one seen here: http://www2.tech.purdue.edu/at/courses/aeml/powerplantimages/2blademounts.jpg
I need to design the attachment to limit the equivalent stresses while minimizing the cross-sectional...
