New and Updated Models, Apps, and Add-ins in Version 6.4
•
The new 3D model Designing a Metasurface Beam Deflector Using Shape Optimization maximizes the deflection by changing the shape and position of the pillars.
•
The new Aperture Shape Optimization for Electroplating of a Printed Circuit Board 3D model minimizes the inhomogeneity in an electroplating process.
•
The Optimal Control for Heating of a Rod tutorial model has been updated to use condition-based final time.
•
The Topology Optimization of a Beam with Milling Constraints tutorial model has been updated to reflect that the MMA solver can now be selected at the study level.
•
The Topology Optimization of District Heating Network tutorial model is now easier to set up because the MMA solver can be selected at the study level.
•
The Optimizing a Flywheel Profile tutorial model has been simplified due to the introduction of the P-norm feature.
•
The Optimization of a Waveguide Iris Bandpass Filter — Transformation Version tutorial model has been updated to use randomization of the initial controls to identify several optima. The model also uses the maximum y-coordinate for the center of scaling in the Transformation feature.
•
The Minimizing the Charging Time of a Lithium-Ion Battery tutorial model demonstrates optimization of final time by minimizing the charging time of a lithium-ion battery subject to a constraint on the battery degradation.
•
The new Minimizing the Drying Time of a Wood Particle tutorial model extends the Superheated Steam Drying of a Wood Particle model with optimal control of the temperature.
•
The Optimization of an Extruded MBB Beam tutorial model has been modified to use the Free Shape Shell feature so that equation-based modeling can be avoided.
•
The Roundness Evaluation of a Deformed Hole tutorial model evaluates the roundness of some data points by computing the minimum circumscribed circle and maximum inscribed circle.
•
The Shape Optimization of Coils tutorial model has been simplified due to the introduction of the Standard Deviation feature.
