Welcome to the course on Getting Started with OptiStruct, a powerful tool that integrates structural analysis with optimization across various physics, including statics, dynamics, acoustics, fatigue, and heat transfer. It supports concept-driven design with manufacturing constraints for traditional, composite, and additive manufacturing methods. This course will introduce you to its core capabilities and real-world applications to enhance product performance and efficiency.

What you will learn!

• Basic handling of the software: discover all functionalities to create a ready-to-run OptiStruct FE model, from element properties, materials, and loads, to output requests and post-processing.

• Explore a series of complete OptiStruct workflows covering both analysis and optimization applications.

Prerequisites

• A basic understanding of finite element simulation is recommended.

• Getting Started with HyperMesh v2024 eLearning Course.
