The objective of this tutorial is to minimize the weighted compliance through all three load cases. The volume fraction of
the weld component is limited to 0.3. The design space is the spot weld component.
Figure 1.
1. Launch HyperMesh.
The User Profile dialog appears.
1. Click File > (and then) Open > (and then) Model.
2. Select the hut.hm file you saved to your working directory from the optistruct.zip file. Refer to Accessing the
Model Files.

3. Click Open.
The hut.hm database is loaded into the current HyperMesh session, replacing any existing data.
2. Click topology.

5. Click create.
4. Click create.
3. In the Save As dialog, specify location to write the OptiStruct model file and enter hut_opt for filename.
For OptiStruct input decks, .fem is the recommended extension.
4. Click Save.
The input file field displays the filename and location specified in the Save As dialog.

OptiStruct also reports error messages if any exist. The file hut_opt.out can be opened in a text editor to find
details regarding any errors. This file is written to the same directory as the .fem file.
9. Click Close.
In this step you will visualize the new spot weld configuration. To post-process the results, the weld elements will be
sorted by density into different components.
1. From the menu bar, click File > (and then) Run > (and then) Command File.
2. In the Open Command File dialog, open the hut_opt.HM.comp.tcl output file from your OptiStruct run.
Four of the welds are in the DENS 0.9-1.0 component; all others are in the DENS 0.0-0.1 component.
3. To do a re-analysis with the new weld configuration, undisplay the components with low density (DENS 0.0-0.1 to
DENS 0.8-0.9) and rerun the analysis with export options: set to displayed in the OptiStruct panel.
