Step 1: Load the OptiStruct user profile and open the model.
1. Launch HyperMesh.
2. Select OptiStruct in the User Profile dialog and click Ok.
This loads the user profile. It includes the appropriate templates, macro menu, and import reader, paring down
the functionality of HyperMesh to what is relevant for generating models OptiStruct.
User Profiles.can also be accessed from the Preferences pull-down menu on the toolbar.
3. Click on File, go to open, click on model. Select the file PartB_Problem2_Cargo_Door.hm file from the destination
folder where you have saved/downloaded the contest model files.
4. Click Open.
2. Click on the drop down icon as shown in the image and select loads from the list.
6. Click on the drop-down icon and select elems, then click on elems and select all, in element size= enter 35, select
the mesh type: as quards and then click on mesh keep all the other parameters same as shown in the image below.
4. Click on any of the nodes at the circumference of the cargo door. And then keep on selecting all the nodes along
the circumference of the cargo door. As shown in the figure
5. Keep all the other parameters as shown in the image and click on create.

Click return.
Then again go to Load Collector (2) in the model browser and right click on pressure and select make current.
Go to Analysis page click on pressures.
Click on elems and select all, then click on nodes and select all, in magnitude enter -0.0008.keep all the other
parameters as show in the image.
4. Select the .h3d or Altair HyperView Player file from the folder where you have saved the model file. And then click
on Apply.
5. Click on Contour icon and click Apply. This will show you the displacement contour.
6. Now click on Measures icon and check the box in front of Static MinMax Result, then uncheck the box in front of
Min, note down the node number and maximum displacement value on that node/model.
3. In free size panel select the radio button as create. In desvar= enter door. Select the type as PCOMP(G), click on
props and check the box in front of LAM and click select. Then click create.
4. Then select the radio button composites, click on desvar and select door. In laminate thickness: toggle the
minimum thickness off to minimum thickness= and enter 9. Click Update.
5. Then click on edit button, check the box in front of PLYTHK, PLYPCT AND BALANCE. Now in PYLPCT option instead
of all select Specify Number, and enter 2 in DSIZE_NUMBER_OF_PLYPCT
7. Click return.
8. Click Update.
9. Click return.
2. In response= enter displ, in response type select static displacement, click on nodes and click on by id, then enter
the node number which you have noted down earlier from the static results. And press enter, then select the radio
button total disp. Click create.
6. Click return.
2. In constraints= enter displ. Click on response= and select displ. Click on loadsteps and select Pressure. Check the
box in front of upper bound= and enter the value 12. Click create.
3. Click return.
2. Select min from the drop down list, click on response= and select volfrac. Click create.
2. Click on GLOBAL_OUTPUT_REQUEST.
4. Click return.
5. Now click on next and select OUTPUT
7. Click return.
8. Click on OptiStruct.
9. Once you see OPTIMIZATION HAS CONVERGED FEASIBLE DESIGN <ALLCONSTRAINTS SATISFIED>. Close the solver
window.
Step 7: View the Element Thickness and Ply Thickness as results in HyperView.
1. Click on Page Window Layout icon as show
2. Click on 3rd Window. And then load the ._des.h3d file (follow the same procedure as shown above to load the result file)
3. Select the last iteration as show below.
4. Click on contour icon, set the Averaging Method as Simple and click Apply.
5. Now Select Ply Thicknesses in Result type: and then click Apply
6. To view the Ply thickness of each ply. Select 1 in Entity with layers:
6. Click Import.
7. Click Close.
8. Go to Analysis page and click on entity sets panel
9. Click on review button. And then select the set1, set2, set3,. To view the ply bundles due to each set.

Ply thickness, which have been defined in the size input deck from Phase 1
Minimize the total designable volume
Natural frequencies (1st ~ 5th) 0.02 KHz
- Composite strains in the fairing < 1000 micro-strain
Manufacturing constraints are preserved and transferred to the DCOMP card. A minimum manufacturable ply
thickness of 0.25, defined in Phase 1, is transferred to the PLY card. It allows for the optimal ply bundle thicknesses to be a
multiple of the minimum ply thickness value, and helps in calculating the total number of plies required per fiber
orientation.
3. Click edit and review the DCOMP card image as shown below. PLYPCT and BALANCE constraints are transferred to
DCOMP card. The manufacturable ply thickness constraint 0.25 in PLYTHK is transferred to the PLY card.
3. Click on the optiresponses. And then select the displ and volfrac from the list, click on select. And then click on
delete entity.
4. Click return.
4. Enter 8 in [ND].
8. Click create.
9. Click return.
3. Click create.
4. In response= enter freq1, in response type select frequency, enter 1 in Mode Number:, click create.
5. Repeate set 4 and create 4 more responses for frequency as freq2 mode number: 2, freq3 mode number: 3,
freq4 mode number: 4, freq5 mode number: 5.
6. Now in response= enter cstrain, in response type select composite strain. Click on the drop down arrow as shown
in the image and select piles from the list. Click on the piles and select all the plies. Set maj. Principal as strain type,
click create.
3. Follow the above step 2, to create constraints as freq2, freq3, freq4 and freq5 having response as freq2, freq3,
freq4 and freq5 respectively. Having the same lower bound as 0.02 and same loadstep as norm_modes.
4. Now in constraints= enter cstrain, in response= select cstrain from the list of responses, click on loadstep and
select pressure as a load step. Check the box in front of upper bound= and enter value 0.001. click create.
2. Set the objective type as min click on the response and select volume from the list of responses. click create.
3. Click return.
OptiStruct will automatically generate a size model after the free-size optimization.
5. Click return twice to go back to the Analysis page.
Step 9: Save the file & run the Composite size Optimization
1. Follow the same procedure given in STEP 6 of PHASE 1 (see above).
(But create a new folder and then save the file dont save the file in the same folder).
3. The Orientation Thicknesses (s) contour view is.. for Max in Entity with layers:..
The maximum successive number of plies of a particular orientation does not exceed 4 plies
The + 45s and 45s are reversed paired
Step 1: Load the OptiStruct user profile and import the composite size optimization file.
1. Follow the same procedure given in STEP 8 of PHASE 1 upto POINT 7. And import the file ._shuffling.*.fem file
from the folder where you have saved the file before Analysis.
5. Click update.
6. Click return.
2. Click on create radio button. Then click on dshuffle and select door.
3. Click on parameters radio button; make sure the door is selected in dshuffle. Check the box next to pairing
constraint, select reverse as pair type: make sure the ply angle1= is 45 and ply angle2= is -45.
4. Click update.
5. Click on edit.
6. Check the box next to MAXSUCC and enter 4 in MSUCC.
7. Click return.
8. Click update.
9. Click return.
Step 5: Save the file and run the Composite Shuffling Optimization.
1. Follow the same procedure given STEP 6 in PHASE 1 (see above).
(But create a new folder and then save the file dont save the file in the same folder).
