Challenge: Achieve best strength

(upbeat music) - [Instructor] Let's take a look at the final challenge for our optimization and design study. We have a wall bracket here, and what we want to take a look at is running the simulation static study, as well as running the design study itself. For the simulation study, what we want to do is we want to fix the back plate here and we want to apply a force on the top of 20 pound force. And we want our mesh to be curvature-based, as well as have a element size of four millimeters. Now onto the design study. What we want for our variables is this rib thickness. We want this to be between 10 to 16 millimeters, with a step of two millimeters, and we also want our horizontal length for this rib to be between 40 to 100 with a step of 10 millimeters. We want our stress to be below 1,800,000 newtons per meter squared, and for our goals, we want that to minimize the mass. Having that information, please give this…
