Is there a way to optimaze cross sections between a utilization of a certain number?

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to optimize crosssections with the OptiCross component where you can define the max and min utilization, for example between 0.7 and 0.9 as the unity checks? I see that there is only a input for max utilization.

Regards,

Giorgio

Hi Giorgi,

it is currently not possible to limit the min. utilisation in the optimisation process, but you could possibly set up a genetic algorithm that does this check after your optimisation. Otherwise you can also look into the BESO component to eliminate members which are less utilised.
