As one can see from the data above, over the course of the mesh refinement, the equivalent Von Mises Stress only changes by approximately one seventh of a percent. Thus, the solution has been verified with respect to mesh refinement.

Optimization Methods

The optimization was carried using each of the four optimization methods offered in ANSYS workbench. Note that the default optimization method in ANSYS is Screening.
