To Define a Goal for an Optimization Study

Simulation > Creo Simulate > Creating Design Studies > Creating Design Studies > Optimization Study for Structure and Thermal > To Define a Goal for an Optimization Study

This procedure assumes that you are in the Optimization Study Definition dialog box and that you selected Optimization as the study Type.

1. If you select the Type as Optimization, Creo Simulate adds the Goal area with the goal definition fields to the dialog box.

2. Select one of the following items from the Goal drop-down list:

◦ Minimize

◦ Maximize

◦ Minimize Absolute Value

◦ Maximize Absolute Value

3. Click Home >

Measures. The Measures dialog box opens.

4. Select the measure that you want to minimize or maximize and click OK.

Creo Simulate returns you to the Optimization Study Definition dialog box and displays the analyses that include the selected measure.

5. If you defined more than one analysis of the relevant type, select the required Analysis from the drop-down list.

6. If you included more than one load set for a static, prestress static, or steady-state thermal analysis, use the Loadset drop-down list to select a different load set for which you want the measure to be evaluated.

7. If you selected a modal and prestress modal analysis, select a mode number from the Mode drop-down list.

8. If you want Creo Simulate to track a specific mode shape, select Track Specific Mode.
