1 year ago Re: Circular Arc Calculator #813 I don't want to discourage your ideas here. I am hoping that it might be helpful for me to point out a limitation to this kind of problem. Specifically, the Spring design types have strong internal trade-offs (competition for resources). For example, the way that weight and cycle-life trade-off against each other. The PCyl design type includes a bit of the same characteristic. If Radius is limited, it means that Force (Area) competes with Stress (Thickness). Gaining on one means losing on the other. As I see it, from a design optimization point of view, the Rectangular Solid design type and things like the Circular Arc Calculator are not quite as interesting because they lack that strong internal competition for a common resource. Now, on the other hand, you may be able to show how it makes sense to put a constraint on one or two of those variables and a Seek of Min or Max of another variable produces something that is interesting and non-obvious in terms of real-world application. I took a quick look at: https://www.engineersedge.com/calculators.htm But haven't yet found anything really appealing. We can talk more on the weekend.
Create a new model for a Circular Arc Calculator. Use it to explore the use of ODOP with its constraint system and optimization capability using this standard calculator.
