Set up and submit optimization runs by creating design variables, constraints, and
objectives for improving MAC and reducing frequency mismatch between the reference and
correlation models.
Figure 1. Model Correlation Utility - MAC Tab - Optimization Sub-tab
Design Variable Selection
Select Design Variables by loading the model file associated with correlation result set
(H3D or OP2), then select the design variables to be used for optimization.
Figure 2.
Objective
Filter and select the modes to maximize the MAC value as an objective for optimization. Figure 3.
Constraint
Filter and select the modes for which constraints are to be maintained for MAC values and
frequencies. Figure 4.
Display
Display the comparison of optimized MAC values versus baseline MAC values for the selected
optimization run, as well as the comparison of design variables. Figure 5.
