Configuring basic settings

You can configure a condition-based bead optimization task.

  1. In the optimization task editor, click the Basic tab.

  2. Choose whether to respect boundary conditions that have been applied to the model.

    It is recommended that you freeze regions to which boundary conditions are applied because you do not want these regions to be moved during the optimization. Freezing these regions stabilizes the optimization and often leads to a significantly lower number of iterations.

  3. By default, the Optimization module freezes boundary conditions for the whole model. If desired, click and select the region in which the boundary conditions should be frozen.
