Multi-model optimization solid element property

Aidan B

Hello,

 

I'am trying to perform a topology optimization using MMO which has a solid property for a design variable. When I run the MMO I get an error  *** ERROR # 7506 ***
 Current version of lattice structures does not support multi-model optimization .

Are solid properties not supported for MMO or is there another problem?

 

Thanks

Yes the lattice structures does not support multi-model optimization. Solid elements are supported for MMO.

Thanks for the reply,

I have got the simulation to run using hexa and penta elements instead of tetra elements. Is a tetra mesh defined as a lattice structure?

Yes tetra will work for lattice structure Optimization.
