Optimization volume-fraction response

Understand the Optimization volume-fraction response relationship used by Topology Optimization.

Where to find it

Topology Optimization → equations

How to use it

Compare the terms, signs and units with your intended physical assumptions before choosing model inputs.

Result

Equation: V(\theta)=\frac{\int_\Omega \theta\,d\Omega}{\int_\Omega d\Omega}.

Troubleshooting

The equation describes the model assumptions; it is not a separate editable boundary condition. Check the parent physics page for setup and limitations.
