Thanks for your feedback.
In some cases yes. The optimization needs to act at a determined step.
In some non-linear mechanical system some parameters (ex. resulting force, tilts, stress, etc.) will have different result depending on the applied load, displacement and so on.
An example is a non-linear spring that will present a respective resulting force (even negative force) at each step.
So, for the spring case, I can setup an optimization that grantees that the reaction force, at each step, should be never be bigger/smaller than a value, or what is de value of a design parameter that minimize the stress found at each step and other ideas.
For this reason I'm looking for a way that I can read each step and use its individual results during optimization.
Today I do not have the possibility to use LDA steps results during simulation - what does not allow me to obtain an average of measured values, the maximum / minimum value obtained during all steps or an optimal parameter that can minimize the maximum occurrence found during all steps in an LDA.
