Advanced user of Altair OptiStructI have used Optistruct for the topology optimization of one part of the complex dynamic mechanism. The step by step approach helps to provide detailed boundary condition of the physical problem. Simulation results provide enough understanding of the physical effect and stress generation in different connections.
For meshing ane material properties, Altair provides various options for different types of elements.
Solving different errors due to the mess quality is time-consuming. A thorough understanding of the theory behind the FEA helps to solve different errors. Although there are software available that solve the problem without even manual meshing, I don't prefer the same because there are high chances of error if something goes well particularly in the complex mechanism.
For new users of Optistruct, please go through the various free course available on the Altair University website. Those are very well in detail and give deep insights about software capability, and the method of using it. I would also recommend to attend their webinar or check old webinars for AOC available on youtube.
I have solved mostly the structurer problem of different parts and topology optimization of the same. The detailing in customization of boundary conditions and results detailing, I like the most.
