6 design parameters : 2 radius and 4 thicknesses.

Each design parameter has an upper and an lower limit.

Method used : sensitivity analysis

Initial Model

Volume : 10 088 mm3

Von-Mises stress : 110 MPa

Objective : Minimize the volume and reduce the stress max to 100 MPa.

Optimized Model

Volume : 6 000 mm3

Von-Mises max. : 100 MPa

GOAL reached : The volume is reduced and stress-max value is 100 MPa.
