    Rahul,

     

    sorry for the late answer, i was on holiday.

     

     

     

    I Need that file for a comparision of different solvers.  i would like to do a consistent reanalysis. tosca and ansys automatically write such a file.

    Is there a way to get that file in hyperworks?

     

    Thank you very much

    Hi Andreas,

     

    Please include DENSITY card to output density of elements for a topology optimization.

     

    Goto Control Cards>> DENSITY. At the end of the analysis a file with extension .dens will be written in the working directory.
