I am using hyperworks student version for my senior project. I am making topology optimization of a rotating disk. How can I limit it such that it will not exceed the required yield strength?

    Hi Harun,

     

    For topology there is no response available which takes yield strength.

    You can apply stress constraint.

    OS-2080: Topology Optimization of a Hook with Stress Constraints

     

    Factor of safety=Yield stress/working stress. For any material you would have yield stress.

     

    You can also explore Altair SolidThinking Inspire for topology Optimization where you can minimize mass with FOS.

    PFA material for your reference.
