You can specify the distance surrounding applied conditions to be protected during
optimization, as well as set a protected distance for any specific faces. You can also select
any additional geometry you want protected.
From the ribbon, select Topology Optimization > Protected Depth, or double-click Protected depth under
Optimization in the physics tree.
For Protected depth in the Protected depth HUD, enter the
distance surrounding applied conditions to be protected during optimization. You can also
enter this value directly in the physics tree.
Use click and control-click to select any additional faces you want protected, and/or
any faces already protected for which you want to change the protected depth value.
Enter a protected distance for those faces and click Accept to
complete the setup.
