8 steps for creating a process scheme

Create Actors, Command, and Timers.
Create the first Activity marked as “Initial”.
Create Activities, in which the document can move from the current Activity. Link the current and new Activities with the help of Transitions.
For each new Activity indicate:
4.1. In the State field - the name of a document’s status.
4.2. If the status can be forcefully moved into a particular state, then check the box “For set state.”
4.3. If a scheme may be updated in this Activity, then check the box “Auto scheme update.”
4.4. Fill in the Action calls in the boxes “Implementation” and “Pre-ExecutionImplementation.” Methods from the “Implementation” box will be called, when the document moves to a respective Activity (in “Pre-Execute” mode, methods from the “Pre-Execution Implementation” box will be called). If you use the constructor functionality to build a concordance history, then you need to add the appropriate methods in the data blocks (in our example, these are UpdateTransitionHistory and WriteTransitionHistory, respectively).
For each new Transition:
5.1. Indicate the value of the Classifier. Use “Direct” or “Reverse” for direct or reverse Transitions, respectively.
5.2. In the “Restrictions” block, indicate Actors with access rights for this Transition. When several Conditions are indicated, they are grouped by AND. This function is available for Trigger type equal Command.
5.3. In the “Triggers” block, indicate the type of operation (as per p. 3.5) that initiates a Transition.
5.4. In the “Condition” block, indicate the type of Condition (as per p. 3.5) that helps define the possibility of a Transition and choose an appropriate Transition Type.
If each new Activity contains possible Transitions, repeat pp. 3–6 for each Activity. If these Activities are final, mark them as “Final.”
Create Parameters and indicate them in the appropriate Commands.
Create Localization.

FE-DESIGN is announcing the latest release of the TOSCA family of optimization products. SIMULIA TOSCA Structure 8.0 provides many improvements and enhancements. SIMULIA Tosca Structure is the market leading technology for structural optimization based on industry standard FEA packages (ABAQUS, ANSYS, MSC NASTRAN). It allows for rapid and reliable design of lightweight, rigid and durable components and systems. Using topology optimization with Tosca Structure.topology you obtain optimal design proposals already during design concept. Specific detail improvements through shape and bead optimization respectively (with Tosca Structure.shape and Tosca Structure.bead respectively) make your designs ready for production. With Tosca Structure.sizing you find optimized sheet thicknesses even for large scale applications with up to millions of design variables. The result are designs with optimum relation between weight, stiffness and dynamic behavior.
