Topology Optimization Options Available as Parameters

The following topology optimization options are available as parameters:

For the Maximum Stiffness, Maximum Natural Frequency, Balance Stiffness & Frequency, Minimize Stress objectives:

  • Volume reduction (either % or by volume)
  • Target Natural Frequency objective
  • Target Frequency

For the Minimize Volume objective, with the Stiffness Reduction option: Aggressiveness

For the Minimize Volume objective, with Von Mises Stress or Principal stress option: Maximum stress

For the Minimize Volume objective, with Factor of Safety: Factor of safety

Note: When solving a topology optimization, geometric output properties are not updated (including environment parameters).
