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 the Design of Experiments step
2. 3D response surface: (R,H) vs. Volume. In other words, plot R on the x-axis, H on the y-axis and Volume on the z-axis. See tip below for how to create such a plot in ANSYS.
3. 3D response surface: (R,H) vs. max. effective stress
4. Selected design point and the corresponding volume and max. effective stress
5. Effective (or Von Mises) stress variation in the plate at the design point
