Methods for Nonlinear response optimization
OptiStruct 11.0
Nonlinear Contact (NLSTAT)
After solving the contact problem optimization is performed on a linear
equation
Sensitivity calculation wrt. design variables
Geometric Nonlinear (NLGEOM, IMPDYN, EXPDYN)
Gradients can be very expensive or unavailable
Transferring the nonlinear problem into a series of linear problems is
more efficient (ESLM - Equivalent static load method)
For both methods, existing optimization techniques (for linear
problems) could be used

• Sequential static response optimization with the equivalent static
loads
• Nonlinear analysis (outer loop), Static optimization (inner loop)
•
fteq = Kdt
will be determined in order to reach the same response
