SOLIDWORKS Simulation - Parametric Optimization | Constraint = Mass | Goal = Minimum Mass

You can create a Design Study to perform an optimization or evaluate specific scenarios of your design. The Design Study offers a uniform workflow for the Optimization and Evaluation studies.

You can work on a number of problems by using a design study.
You can:
* Define multiple variables using any simulation parameter, or driving global variable.
* Define multiple constraints using sensors.
* Define multiple goals using sensors.
* Analyze models without simulation results. For example, you can minimize the mass of an assembly with the variables, density and model dimensions, and with the constraint, volume.
* Evaluate design choices by defining a parameter that sets bodies to use different materials as a variable.
