Specifies the geometric entity on a model that will be optimized using a Structural Optimization analysis. The application inserts this object automatically when you create a Structural Optimization analysis.
Exclusion Region
The Exclusion Region object is an insertable child object of the Optimization Region object. The Exclusion Region object enables you to specify additional geometric entities (body, face, edge, and elements) and/or geometry- or element-based Named Selections to the scoping of the Exclusion Region of the Optimization Region object.
