About this Block

What it does: The Parameter Objective block defines the goal of an optimization run. It takes a Goal (either Minimize or Maximize) and a Parameter to set the objective function. The optimizer then uses this objective to guide its search for an optimal solution. Common uses:
  • Finding the lightest possible design that meets all structural requirements.
  • Maximizing a component’s stiffness while keeping its mass below a certain limit.
  • Optimizing a part’s geometry to improve its performance under various conditions.
Tips
  • The Goal input determines whether the optimizer will try to increase or decrease the value of the parameter.
  • The Parameter input must be a scalar optimization parameter whose value can be calculated for each design iteration.
Specifies a goal for a Parameter Optimization by indicating a Parameter to minimize or maximize. Guides the optimizer toward the desired outcome.
