Overview

In this chapter you work on meeting the last two design requirements for the latch: hand-actuated by less than 80.0 N force and hand released by less than 5.0 N of force. To do so, you quickly and interactively try out various handle force magnitudes by:

■Creating Design Variables

■Creating a Custom Dialog Box

■Modifying Force Values

■The Next Step

If you choose not to work through the tutorial in sequential order and would like to work through it starting here, import the file optimize.cmd from install_dir/aview/examples/Latch/, where install_dir is the directory where Adams is installed.
