Design improvement studies allow engineers to find the best design while varying design parameters. Using the Parametric Design Study Essentials or Parametric Design Study app, you can easily author, monitor, and postprocess a parametric design improvement study based on an analysis case for a single-physics simulation object or a geometrical model. Physics simulations from which the user initiates a study can be either: a structural analysis case or a durability analysis case.

Course objectives:

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

– Create a design improvement study, defining design variables and objective(s)

– Perform design space checks and run the study

– Monitor and review study results

Topics Covered:

  • Overview – Parametric Design Improvement: Structural
  • 1 – Introduction to Design Improvement
