mech_extopt.in File Format
The format of the mech_extopt.in file is as follows:
ndp
design_parameter_name_1
value_1
design_parameter_name_2
value_2
design_parameter_name_ndp
value_ndp
nobj
objective_name_1
analysis_name_1
objective_name_2
analysis_name_2
objective_name_nobj
analysis_name_nobj
nlim
limit_name_1
analysis_name_1
limit_name_2
analysis_name_2
limit_name_nlim
analysis_name_nlim
where
• ndp is the number of design variables
• nobj is the number of objectives (in Creo Simulate, there is just one single objective)
• nlim is the number of limits
You must specify:
• the names and values of design variables
• for objectives and limits, the names of measures defined in Creo Simulate, as well as the names of analyses in which these measures are used
