Material-topology design

Check whether material-topology design applies to Shape Optimization.

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

Applicability: inapplicable. Shape Optimization moves coordinates and does not define a material topology field. 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.
