Is there a way to vary the mnf file for a flex body within cases generated by Insight? It doesn't seem to take a design variable within View.

  • The above approach should work if you are fine with running everything inside aview but I think you have to specify the index variable as a real type or insight won't list it as a candidate factor.
     
    If you want to export the adm/acf files and run in the external solver (using "mdi insight build" to run a large # of cases in parallel on an HPC cluster) you can do some text manipulation tricks with swapping .mtx file references in the adm file (assuming the mnf geometry does not change and you have no aggregate_mass calls that reference the flexbody)
