Defining the Displacement Optimization Task

You can define the Displacement Optimization Task to get a structure with a minimum deflection or rotation. In case that the displacement at a node with a load is to be minimized, the problem is identical to the maximization of the stiffness.

This task shows you how to:

Define the Displacement Optimization Task in Tosca Structure.gui

  1. Choose Command > DRESP.
  2. Define and reference the displacement design response in OBJ_FUNC as shown in the figure below:



    The objective function is defined as the minimization problem of the defined design response.
