hi, during the process of topology optimization, how can I control the maximum dimension of cavities that will be generated on the Model? in another world I want to have constraints on how much and also how the compliance can be reduced.

    i don't think we allow control of maximum cavities dimension. only maximum dimensions of the resulting structural parts. Can you describe your use case, a little further, please?

     

    You can create a constraint related to the compliance, just as any other design constraint in your model. Just take care to define your optimimztion problem properly. I.e: do not define compliance as both objective and constraint.
