Material-topology design

Check whether material-topology design applies to Coefficient Form PDE.

Where to find it

System Solver → Optimization

How to use it

Define an objective, select the design controls and their bounds, and add constraints before running the optimization study.

Applicability

This physics depends on the geometric design and requires its corresponding derivative support. The associated interface is not available for a supported solve in this build.

Result

Compare the final objective, constraint values, design and termination reason together.

Troubleshooting

Limits on iterations or evaluations can end a search before an optimum is reached. Inspect feasibility and termination reason, then verify the final design with a solve.
