WEIGHT

Subcase Information Entry The WEIGHT command can be used to define a weighting factor (multiplier) for the compliances of individual linear static solution subcases, which are used in the calculation of the "weighted compliance" and "combined compliance index" optimization responses.

Format

WEIGHT = value

Definitions

Argument Description
value The multiplier to be used for the compliance of this subcase in the calculation of "weighted compliance" or "combined compliance index."

Default = 0.0 (Real)

Comments

  1. Refer to Responses in the User Guide for more information on "weighted compliance" and "combined compliance index" optimization response calculations.
  2. WEIGHT is only used in conjunction with DRESP1, RTYPE = WCOMP, COMB.
  3. If a WEIGHT is not defined in any subcase, but a DRESP1 with RTYPE = WCOMP or COMB exists, all static subcases are assigned a WEIGHT of 1.0 by default.
  4. DRESP1, RTYPE=WCOMP is supported for ESL-Nonlinear Response Optimization.
  5. This entry is represented as an optimization response in HyperMesh.
