Create the geometry optimization
In the Simulation Navigator, right-click the Simulation node and choose New Solution Process→Geometry Optimization.
In the Create Geometry Optimization Solution dialog box, in the Name box, enter a descriptive name for the solution process. This name identifies the solution process in the Simulation Navigator.
From the Solution list, select a solved solution to which to add the solution process. You can create an optimization only for a solution that contains results.
From the Process Type list, select the optimization algorithm to use.For more information, see Types of geometry optimization.
Click OK.
