Manufacturing Constraints

You can activate optional manufacturing constraints in the Topology Optimization HUD. These include:

Min Thickness
Max thickness
Pull direction
Table direction
Overhang prevention

Once you've activated a manufacturing constraint, it will be visible in the physics tree. For constraints that need only a value, you can enter the value in the tree. To specify any additional information, double-click the manufacturing constraint to view the HUD.

This section contains the following topics:
