Optimization Controls
Optimization control entities define and store controls for optimization problem run.
Optimization controls do not have a display state in the modeling window.
Nastran Cards
| Card | Description | 
|---|---|
| DOPTPRM | Overrides default values of parameters used in design optimization. | 
OptiStruct Cards
| Card | Description | 
|---|---|
| DOPTPRM | Defines design optimization parameters by overriding the
                defaults. Note: Bulk Data Entry If an unsupported argument is encountered on importing a DOPTPRM card, the data is stored as UNSUPPORTED_DOPTPRM on the DOPTPRM card. It is also possible to create an unsupported DOPTPRM card using the UNSUPPORTED_DOPTPRM option on the opticontrol card image. | 
| DOPTPRM, NESLNLGM | Specifies the number of time steps retained for
                optimization from each NLGEOM subcase. Note: Bulk Data Entry | 
Radioss Cards
| Card | Description | 
|---|---|
| BULK | Used to insert bulk format data. | 
| BULKFMT | Used to define different OptiStruct formats (FREE, LARGEFREE, FIXED, or LARGEFIXED) during the Radioss-to-OptiStruct conversion. | 
| BULKMAT | Used to insert bulk format material card. | 
| BULKPROP | Used to insert bulk format property card. | 
| ESLPART | This keyword defines parts in the model, which will be included in ESLM optimization. |
