Beginning with Topology Optimization without a (CAD) geometry input

Pari_20321

Hallo everyone,

I'm new to HyperWorks Altair and have had some courses to understand how HyperWorks works.

Now I want to do a Topology Optimization without a (CAD) geometry input. But this wasn't discussed in the eLearning courses.

I want to define a volume in which I can put my constraints and loads to start an optimization.

Can someone tell me where I can find any information (or how to start) about this type of model optimization, so I can start my project.

 

 Thank you in advance

there's a perfect tool for you, if you have at least a mesh of your surrounding parts.

Design Space Management in HyperWorks:

Otherwise just use the basic Geometry tools in HyperWorks or in Inspire to build your own starting block. Theey're pretty easy to learn how to use.
