optiSLang and ANSYS
The consistent working process within ANSYS Workbench, geared towards parameter studies, is an excellent basis for parametric variation studies and optimization with optiSLang. Its integration into ANSYS Workbench allows optiSLang to combine user-friendliness with high-performance methods.
Parametric Sensitivity Analyses
Which independent variables are relevant? How strong is the correlation between parameters? What output range can my design cover?
Parametric sensitivity analyses help to differentiate important parameters from unimportant ones, to understand the rela- tionships between design variables and results, and to define the target domain for an achievable, high-performance design. Automated statistical design of experiments (DoE) ensures a good balance of performance and accuracy for the execution of the sensitivity study: The prognosis quality of the established relationships is quantified (coefficient of prognosis), allowing the observed design space to be recorded at the defined level of accuracy with a minimum number of analyses. The repre-sentation of results in optiSLang eases the evaluation of a large number of parameters.

This facilitates not only a quick introduction, but also an ad-vanced range of tasks with numerous parameters, including difficult non-linearity, or multidisciplinary, multi-objective optimization.

Multidisciplinary optimization
Which design is the best? How are competing goals to be dealt with?
Based on the relationships from the sensitivity analysis, the design can be optimized. This optimization simultaneously takes into account multiple physical disciplines and goals.
For an electrical motor, for instance, that would be efficiency based on the magnetic field generation and the structural dy-namic vibrations based on the magnetic forces and resulting sound pressure level.
The optimization methods available in optiSLang inside ANSYS are automatically pre-defined based on the problem, and the user can easily grasp them using a traffic-light rating system. Optimization methods are available for both special require-ments and classic optimization tasks.
Tolerance analysis
How do variances affect product behavior? How will my pro- duct work under real operating conditions?
Variances in manufacturing processes, stresses, geometries, and material properties all produce variances in component behavior. Numerical tolerance analyses allow testing of com- pliance with product characteristics even in such situations. This technology, established for assessing geometrical proper- ties, is increasingly used for physical properties as well. Simu-lation using virtual prototypes is a cost-effective option for analyzing the robustness of a design and verifying the safety of a product under actual operating conditions.
