(upbeat music) - [Instructor] Let's run through this exercise together. Let's add a new design study, so right-click, create new design study, and make sure our optimization is turned on, and we can select our goals. So we have our variables. So we want to go ahead and go through this drop-down menu for our variables. Again, let's go through this exercise together. So for this 150, we want to go ahead and change that from 125 to 200 with steps of 25 millimeters, and we want to go ahead and change this length, so it goes through 200 to 300 millimeters with steps of 10 millimeters. And we want to go ahead and have one of our constraints as the mass to be between 1,750 grams to 2,500 grams, and one of our goals is we want to maximize the weight of this part. So let's go ahead and start adding our variable. So let's add our first variable, this 150. Let's name it the side length. And add in an comment as well. And for…
