discrete material optimization / multi material optimization

Hi all,

 

is there a way to do a topology optimization where the solver can choose from given materials (eg. Material A(stiff) or B(elastic)) instead of changing the density of ONE material?. I have read in papers about 'discrete material optimization' or 'multi material optimization' where exactly this is done. Is this supported in Optistruct? 

 

 

regards

Michael
