Simplify Optimization Results

Hi all!

Is there a good way to smooth and simplify results that you get from Inspire? My optimization result has so many elements that it is impossible to manipulate. There is no option to use an optimization with 'more material' since that would yield the entire original design space.

Thanks in advance,

Mika

Hi,

Did you try shape explorer in Inspire 2014?See attached screenshot Shape explorer is new feature.

I hope you would have segregated design and non design region while doing optimization.If not ,please do the same.

Regards

The optimization result I have chosen is taken from shape explorer. Using fit does not yield any workable surfaces. The problem occurs when using 'save to evolve' or exporting the result. When I open it in evolve it crashes due to the amount of elements and SolidWorks does the same.
