using optimization module

[sarthakarokade]

I have ran a crash analysis on front tube of a yamaha vehicle . I want to optimize my results using optimization module but it is showing error as my step are intial and dynamic explicit . how can i run optimization on my part?

Do you mean Topology Optimization? Thats not working with Explicit. Have a look at the users manual.

so if i want to do optimization i have to convert it to static genra then?? and what abt design optimization??

 

[Mustaine3]

a) yes
b) What do you mean with "design optimization"? Do you mean parameter optimization (design parameter)? That could be done with Isight in combination with Abaqus. Abaqus only offers a sensitivity study built-in. See Abaqus Users Manual 19. Design Sensitivity Analysis

how can I convert my step from dynamic explicit to static general?
