Optimization analysis of column of hydraulic support based on ANSYS Workbench

The parametric model of the cylinder of a hydraulic support column is established in module Workbench-DesignModeler(DM) of finite element software ANSYS,and then the model is imported into ANSYS Workbench-DesignSimulation(DS) module for FEA.The internal diameter and external diameter of the cylinder are selected as design variables,and its equivalent stress and deformation as objective parameters.Finally,the cylinder is optimized in Workbench-Design Xplorer(DX) module according to the FEA results.
