OptiStruct is a proven, modern structural solver with comprehensive, accurate and scalable solutions for linear and nonlinear
analyses across statics and dynamics, vibrations, acoustics, fatigue, heat transfer, and multiphysics disciplines.
Composite materials have become popular in the application of aircraft structures. The need for innovative designs
has posed a great challenge. In this tutorial you will perform an optimization-driven design approach of a composite
aircraft underbelly fairing using OptiStruct.
In this tutorial you will learn how to set up a basic lattice concept-level (Phase 1) optimization using the DTPL card, set up and review the basic options associated with lattice optimization, and set up a basic lattice fine-tuning
(Phase 2) optimization and review the results.
Composite materials have become popular in the application of a variety of structures. The need for innovative designs
has posed a great challenge. In this tutorial you will perform an optimization-driven design approach of an open-hole
tension specimen using OptiStruct.
This section presents nonlinear explicit analysis examples generated using OptiStruct. Each example uses a problem description, execution procedures, and results to demonstrate how OptiStruct is used.
The OptiStruct Example Guide is a collection of solved examples for various solution sequences and optimization types and provides
you with examples of the real-world applications and capabilities of OptiStruct.
