Minimizing the Maximum Stress with Volume Constraint | ||||
|
| |||
The described example uses the following model:
(Design elements are shown in blue, the elements in red are defined as nondesign elements due to loads and boundary conditions.)
 |
The optimization target is to minimize the maximum von Mises stress with a volume constraint of 30%:

The following diagram shows the difference between the maximum elemental centroidal von Mises stress calculated by the FE solver and the stress interpolated by SIMULIA Tosca Structure:
