FEM_MODIF
The FEM_MODIF
module generates the modified analysis model by combining the
initial model with the instructions from TOSCA_OPT
. The
optimization database is updated in each iteration.
RES_2_VTM
The RES_2_VTM
module loads the results generated by the solver into the
VTM
(Virtual SIMULIA Tosca Structure Memory) database file.
TOSCA_OPT
The optimization module requires not only the result file from the previous
calculation in ONF
format, but also the loads as well as the necessary model
and control information found in the optimization database. The optimization
module is responsible for specifying the model modifications in ONF
format.
The optimization loop is completed when the optimization target is achieved
or when a stop condition (for example, the maximum number of iterations) is fulfilled.
