Optimization Running time

[DavidKhan]

Why it takes too much time to run an optimization study while the design variable is only one and the problem is simple.I have run a static anlysis of a gear and i now i want to minimize its mass by optimizing it thicness.It has been 24 hours of running and still no results.I think it should take time but not this much time as the problem is not complex.what can be the possible cause?

David,

Could you please file a case with Technical Support ?

I would do that but first i should know whether it is some fault from my side or there is something wrong in the software.

David,

Unfortunately we can't be sure about that until we see your data.

Hi David,

What did you find that was wrong with your installation?

I feel that I may have a similar issues.
