Hello,

I am doing my mtech thesis using HYPERMESH version 12.

In topology optimization ,one of the constraint is ' Reaction force (SPCF) <=70KN'

But there is no response related to SPCF force in opimization panel of HYPERMESH 12.Is there any other option in HYPERMESH 12.

In HYPERMESH 14 student edition,there is an option for spcf force as response. Please help me sir.

    We strongly recommend user to use latest version.Version 12.0 is too old & has less feature compared to newer version HW 2017.SPCF force was added in 13.0 version.
