The following macros are available on the Opti page of the OptiStruct Utility menu:

 

Del All Opt Entities

Deletes all DesignVariable, OptimizationResponse, DesignVariablePropertyRelationship, OptimizationConstraint, Objective, ObjectiveReference, OptimizationTableEntry, OptimizationEquation, DesignVariableLink, OptimizationControl, and OptimizationConstraintScreening entities.

Topology

Voxelmesh

Creates voxels (hexa elements) from closed shell meshes.

Hex-core

Creates hybrid mesh for closed volume. The core portion of the volume will be meshed with hex elements, clearance between boundary and hex mesh will be meshed with BL + tetramesh + pyramid coupling.

Design Space

Shortcut to the Topology panel.

Matfrac

Setup a material fraction topology optimization.

Reg. Volfrac

Create regional volfrac responses combining several components, properties or materials

Topography

Design Space

Shortcut to the Topography panel.

Shape

Create Shapes

Shortcut to the HyperMorph panels.

Shape Variables

Shortcut to the Shape panel.

Size

Size Variables

Shortcut to the Size panel.

PBAR, PROD Opti

Define size optimization for multiple PBAR or PROD sections.

CBAR, CROD Opti

Define size optimization for multiple CBAR or CROD elements with circular section.

Optimization Info

Design Variables

Create, review and edit Size (including Gauge) and Shape Design Variables.

Design Constraints

Review and edit optimization constraints.

Solution

OptiStruct

Shortcut to the OptiStruct panel.

OSSmooth

Shortcut to the OSSmooth panel.

OSSmooth Volume

Compute the volume enclosed by iso-density surface (Elements Displayed)

After running OSSmooth this helps you to compute the true volume of the geometry recovered. The iso-surface must be displayed as elements. Use Nastran or STL format when running OSSmooth.
