HyperMesh  Simple  Guide  


 
Steps  for  HyperMesh  Optistruct  
-­‐ Import  Geometry  from  autocad  (xref  file)  
-­‐ Define  components:  Slab,  Core,  Columns)  
-­‐ Create  then  assign  component  to  each  surface  (surface  edit)  
-­‐ Trim  surfaces  with  lines  to  obtain  a  perfect  mesh  
-­‐ Create  the  mesh  (Automesh):  Here  mesh  of  6  inches  
-­‐ Create  the  boundary  conditions  (load  collectors)  
-­‐ Create  loads  cases  (pressure)  
-­‐ Create  material  
-­‐ Create  properties  referred  to  the  material  
-­‐ Assign  properties  to  components  
-­‐ Define  load  step  
-­‐ Run  first  analysis  to  verify  if  is  the  load  is  applied  correctly  
-­‐ Define  the  optimization  parameters:  
Responses/create:  
1) VOLFRAC  (volume  fraction)  
2) COMPL  (compliance)  
Dconstraints/create:  
1) constraint  =  VOL  CONST  
2) response  =  VOL  FRAC  
Objective:  
COMPL  (compliance)  
Then  vary  the  density  and  the  penalization  factor:  
 
-­‐ Run  analysis  for  each  different  case  an  plot  the  results  
 
Density  =  dconstraints  
Upperbound:  0.1  à  0.5  
 
Penalization  factor  =  Opticontrol  
Discrete  :  1  à  4
