Hi

I am doing optimization with the objective of minimum mass. I am trying to find optimized topology with stress of 200MPa and I have applied stress limit as factor of safety.

I want to know at what point of optimization shape explore tab I will get stress of 200MPa. I attached image of result with the link below shows the more clear view of my question.

I tried with different component but I am getting different result for different component on status bar. I want to know is it possible to get topological optimization for exact 200MPa.

Thanks,

    Hello Deepak,

     Thank you for contacting solidThinking support.

     In order to find out the resultant stress in your shape you have to use the Analyze button of the shape explorer. From there it will be some sort of trial and error process running re-analysis at different cursor positions to find out which one gives the desired stress.

     Please let us know if you need anything else.

     Thanks,

     Matthieu
