The results from the first execution of the optimization all of equivalent Von Mises stresses that exceed the 32.5 KSI threshold. The minimization of the volume is less important than staying below the equivalent Von Mises stress. In order to emphasize the priority of the Von Mises stress criterion set the Importance of Equivalent Stress Maximum to Higher and set the Importance of Surface Body Volume to Lower. Click Update Optimization to re-run the optimization with the new criteria. You should obtain the results shown below. Notice, that now the Von Mises stress threshold is not exceeded.

Obtaining the Graphical Results

At this point the Candidate A results will be inputted back into the Design Modeler. That, is the radius from Candidate A will be set as the radius of the hole in Design Modeler. In order to do so, (Right Click) Candidate A > Insert as Design Points. Next, click Return to Project and double click on Parameter Set. In the "Table of Design Points" (Right Click) Current > Duplicate design point then (Right Click) DP1 > Copy Inputs to Current. In the previous commands you saved the previous current design point by moving it to DP2 and you have inserted Candidate A into the Current design point. Now, click Update All Design Points. Now, the radius of Candidate A has been inserted as the radius in the Design Modeler.
