Hello, I am trying to calibrate material parameters on Isight. To this, I am using optimization process component that uses application components ABAQUS, SIMCODE and DATA MATCHING. Referring to attached figure, I am able to perform the following with SET 1 (refer picture). 1. ABAQUS uses .inp file and reads the input material parameters that I need to optimize, runs it and supplies the output .ODB file to SIMCODE component. The SIMCODE component then uses a python file to calculate user defined responses from the simulation output database .odb and saves it in a .txt file and supplies it to DATA MATCHING component. Here, this supplied simulation .txt file is compared with an experimental curve that I input to DATA MATCHING component and calculates the "Sum of square difference between experimental and simulation data". This "Sum of square difference" is then supplied to the optimization process component where the "objective function" is defined to be minimized, by exploring new set of material parameters, that is being supplied to ABAQUS, and the whole process repeats until the objective function is minimized to find the optimum values of material model parameters.
Now, referring to the attached picture, I would like to add SET 2 (new set of ABAQUS, SIMCODE, DATA MATCHING) and perform whatever I explained before in SET1, but with a ABAQUS model which is slightly different from SET 1. The material parameters that I want to calibrate is same for both SET 1 and SET 2. I would like to calculate "sum of square difference" of SET 1 and SET 2 separately and then find a way to combine the two difference "sum of squares difference" which is then supplied to optimization routine to be minimized.
I have successfully done everything I said in the SET 1 and able to calibrate material parameters but I do not know how to perform the SET2. Can you please explain me how to do this or refer me to a documentation examples where this was explained? It would be very helpful. I have tried to explain as clearly as possible but feel free to ask me if there is anything that is unclear. Thank you in advance for your time.
