System Optimization In MotionSolve

The Problem

Find the design parameters that permit a system to

perform its intended functions in some optimal way

The Solution

A 5-step wizard in the user interface manages the

optimization problem definition and solution

A gradient-based optimizer (SLSQP) finds the

optimal solution

MotionSolve computes the sensitivities analytically

to provide a robust and fast solution

MotionSolve vs. HyperStudy – Which Should We Use?

Use MotionSolve optimization when:

• There are many Design Variables in your model

• Analysis type = Kinematics, Statics or Quasistatics

Use HyperStudy if:

• You wish to perform a design study

• You are doing multi-disciplinary optimization

HyperStudy & MotionSolve are

complementary to each other
