ANSYS APDL/Workbench Optimisation

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on optimizing the mass and volume of a bike frame using ANSYS APDL, as required for university coursework. The original poster expresses familiarity with ANSYS Workbench but needs guidance on using APDL for optimization. They seek tutorials or methods to import models from APDL to Workbench. Another participant confirms they have a similar issue regarding optimization in APDL. The conversation highlights a need for resources and solutions for effective use of APDL in optimization tasks.

I have a university coursework where I have to optimise the mass/volume of a bike frame using the cross-sectional area & tube thickness of the cylindrical tubing. I'm fairly competent in doing this process in ANSYS workbench (at least I'd like to think I am!).
If I had the choice, I would use workbench for this analysis but I'm required to use APDL for the coursework. If there is a tutorial for how to optimise a model in APDL, it would be much appreciated if someone could send it my way! Otherwise, is there some way I can import a model (geometry, loads, boundary conditions, results etc) from APDL to workbench?

hi,
did u find a solution for optimization issue with apdl?? i m also having the same question
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
