Hi,
Is it possible to apply different weighting factors for the load cases in SimLab when you use weighted compliance as a response during topology optimization? And how do you do it in such case?

    Yes, that part I know, but if you want to have different weighting factors for the used load cases, e.g. load case 1 has weighting factor 2 and load case 2 has weighting factor 1, is that possible to define?
