Project: Hydrotech Beam Structural Optimization
Generation: 001
Last updated: 2026-02-09
Overview
Sandwich I-beam optimization for a test fixture. Steel construction with lightening holes in the web. Goal: reduce mass from ~974 kg while meeting displacement (≤ 10 mm) and stress (≤ 130 MPa) constraints.

Open Tasks
- ❓ G1: Beam length and support conditions
- ❓ G2: Loading definition (point? distributed? self-weight?)
- ❓ G3: Displacement measurement location and DOF
- ❓ G4: Stress constraint scope (whole model? exclude supports?)
- ❓ G5: Geometric feasibility of hole patterns at extremes
- ❓ G6: Result sensors in Beam_sim1.sim
- ❓ G7: NX parametric rebuild reliability across full range
- ❓ G8: Mesh type, density, convergence status
- ❓ G9: 130 MPa stress limit basis (yield? safety factor?)
