Exercise
Set Up the Model in HyperMesh Step 1: Launch HyperMesh and Set the User Profile
1. Launch HyperMesh through the start menu. The User Profiles dialog will appear by default. 2. Choose the OptiStruct user profile by selecting the radio button beside it. 3. Click OK. This loads the user profile. It includes the appropriate template, macro menu, and import reader, paring down the functionality of HyperMesh to what is relevant for generating models in Bulk Data Format for RADIOSS and OptiStruct.

3. Leave the Card Image: field set to None. 4. Select a color from the palette. 5. Click create. 6. Using the same method, create a LoadCollector named Forces.
2. From the Analysis page, enter the constraints panel. 3. Select nodes and corresponding dofs, and click on create to create constraints as shown below.
4. Click Return.

In this step, we load the structure with two opposing forces of 100.0 N at the opposite tips of the opening of the c-clip. 1. From the Model Browser, under (expanded) LoadCollectors, right click on Forces, and click on Make Current. 2. From Analysis page, enter the forces panel. 3. To create the force at the top of the opening, click on the node at the top of the opening (A) of the c-clip as in the figure below.
4. Click magnitude=, enter 100.0, and press ENTER. 5. Set the switch below to y-axis. 6. Click create. An arrow, pointing up, should appear at the node on the screen. 7. Similarly, to create the force at the bottom of the opening, click on the node at the bottom of the opening (B) of the c-clip. 8. Click magnitude=, type -100.0, and press ENTER. 9. Verify that the y-axis is selected. 10. Click create. An arrow, pointing down, should appear at the node on the screen. 11. To provide a separation between the arrows, select uniform size=, type 7, and press ENTER. 12. Click return to go back to the Analysis page.

3. Check the box preceding SPC. An entry field appears to the right of SPC. 4. Click on the entry field and select constraints from the list of load collectors. 5. Check the box preceding Load and select forces from the list of load collectors. 6. Select type as linear static. 7. Click Create. 8. Click return to go back to the Analysis page.
3. Select the directory where you would like to write the OptiStruct model file and enter the name for the model, cclip.fem, in the File name: field. .fem is the recommended extension for Bulk Data Format input decks. 4. Click Save. Note the name and location of the cclip.fem file displays in the input file: field. 5. Set the export options: toggle to all. 6. Click the run options: switch and select analysis. 7. Set the memory options: toggle to memory default. 8. Set the options: field to blank. 9. Click Radioss.

5. Select response= and set it to upperdis. 6. Click loadsteps. 7. Check the box next to forces. 8. Click select. 9. Click create. 10. Click constraint= and enter c_lower. 11. Check the box for lower bound only. 12. Click lower bound= and enter -0.07. 13. Select response= and set it to lowerdis. 14. Click loadsteps. 15. Check the box next to forces. 16. Click create. 17. Click return to go back to the optimization panel.

cclip_complete.HM.comp.cmf
HyperMesh command file used to organize elements into components based on their density result values. This file is only used with OptiStruct topology optimization runs. OptiStruct output file containing specific information on the file setup, the setup of the optimization problem, estimates for the amount of RAM and disk space required for the run, information for each optimization iteration, and compute time information. Review this file for warnings and errors that are flagged from processing the cclip_complete.fem file. Shape file for the final iteration. It contains the material density, void size parameters and void orientation angle for each element in the analysis. This file may be used to restart a run. HyperGraph file containing data for the objective function, percent constraint violations, and constraint for each iteration. OSSmooth file with a default density threshold of 0.3. The user may edit the parameters in the file to obtain the desired results. Contains the iteration history of the objective, constraints, and the design variables. It can be used to plot curves in HyperGraph, HyperView, and MotionView. Contains information about the CPU time used for the complete run and also the break up of the CPU time for reading the input deck, assembly, analysis, convergence, etc.

3. Select Design under the Load Case section and the last iteration listed under Simulation and click OK.
4. From Graphics pull down menu, click on Iso Value and choose Element Densities as the Result type. 5. Set the Current Value: to 0.3. 6. Click on Top view orientation to set the correct view. 7. Click Apply.
7. Move the slider below Current value: to change the density threshold. You will see the iso value in the graphics window update interactively when you scroll to a new value. Use this tool to get a better look at the material layout and the load paths from OptiStruct.
Step 17: Compare Static Contour of Original to the Optimized Material Layout
1. In HyperView, click on the Next Page arrow toolbar button to go to page 2.
This will bring up the cclip_complete_s1.h3d file, which contains the static subcase results for the first and last iteration steps. 2. Divide this page into two vertical windows using the Page Layout toolbar icon shown below.

3. Click on Top view orientation to set the correct view. 4. From Graphics pull down menu, click on Contour; choose Displacement as the Result type, and set the pull-down menu below Displacement to Y. 5. Click Apply. 6. Click on the Deformed toolbar button .
7. On the Deformed shape panel, change the scale value to 100, the unperformed shape to edges, and click Apply. 8. From Edit pull down menu, click on Copy Window then click on the empty window. 9. Again, from the Edit pull down menu, click Paste Window. 10. Switch the animation mode from Transient to Linear Static .
11. In the bottom portion of the GUI, with the second window selected, click in the area circled below to activate the Load Case and Simulation Selection dialog.
The Note toolbar button has been improved to allow for display manipulation. 13. From Edit pull down menu, click on Copy Page. 14. From the Edit pull down menu again, click Paste Page. This will create a 3 page on this report. 15. Now click on the first window and click on the Contour button

16. Change the result type to Element Stresses (2D & 3D) (t) and click Apply. 17. Click with the right button on the first window; choose Apply Style To, then Current Page, and select Contour.
These stress results can be used only as reference to help understanding how far from the limits the design is. Remember that topologic optimization will show you a concept shape and the stress results should be validated during the next design phases.
