Objective reference entities are used to define and store objective references for an optimization problem.  Objective references are shown under the DesignObjectiveReference folder within the Model browser.  The Optimization View can be utilized to create, edit, and delete optimization problems.

Objective references do not have a display state.

Objective references have an active and export state.  The active state of an objective reference controls the listing of the objective reference in the Model browser and any of its views.  If an objective reference entity is active, then it is listed in the Model browser and any of its views.  If an objective reference entity is inactive, then it is not listed in the Model browser or any of its views.

The export state of an objective reference entity controls whether or not that objective reference is exported when the custom export option is utilized.  The all export option is not affected by the export state of an objective reference.  The active and export states of objective reference entities can be controlled using the Entity State browser.

The data names associated with objective references can be found in the data names section of the HyperMesh Reference Guide.

 

The following panels can be used to create and edit objective references:

An optimization problem is set up by defining responses, which are in turn constrained or set as objectives.

Design variables identify the varying quantities in an optimization problem.

All of the optimization panels are available from the Optimization menu when the OptiStruct user profile is loaded.
