i have what i supose to be an easy optimization problem to do it with ANSYS. it is a plate (1.75mx1.75m) with 4 holes wich i need to determine the optimum location (x,y) and radius (R)  to minimize the maximum Von Mises straining (SQV). Constraint: 0.04m<Ri<0.2m; Af>0.08*1.75*1.75. Af is the total area of holes and Ri his respective radius. P1=P2=1200N/m. Material: Steel: E=200GPa,v=0.29
