Repeat the optimization problem in the tutorial but with four design variables: H, W, R, T (thickness). Use the same Young's modulus and Poisson ratio: 30 x 10^3 ksi and 0.3, respectively.
Maximum effective stress < yield value (32.5 ksi)

1. Results from design of experiment step
2. 3D response surface: (R,H) vs. Volume
3. 3D response surface: (R,H) vs. Max effective stress
4. Selected design point
5. Von Mises stress variation in the plate at the design point
To plot the response surfaces, you need to set the x, y and z axes highlighted in the snapshot below.
