Create an optimization spreadsheet

Before you can create an optimization spreadsheet, you must solve the solution.

1. In the Simulation Navigator, expand the solution node→Results.

2. Right-click the Structural node and choose Optimization Spreadsheet.Note: If this command is inactive, take one of the following actions:Set the MXCRTRSP parameter for the solution to a value between 0 and 20, and solve the solution again.The solve must complete successfully in order to create the raw data .csv file.Make sure that the raw data file created by Simcenter Nastran exists in the folder where the Simulation file exists.Make sure that the raw data file name is simulation_name-solution_name_sol200.csv, where simulation_name is the name of the Simulation file and solution_name is the name of the solution.
