How to set Pattern Repetition in Topology Optimization
I'm new to Hypermesh and can't find informations on how to set a Pattern Repetition in Topology Optimization. I have my results using only pattern grouping and would like to supplement it with linear or circular pattern repetition. Is this possible? If so, how? Thank you in advance.

this is pattern repetition. Indeed you would need 2 deisgn variables (DTPG). One of them would be the primary driver, and the other one would be the follower. The same result pattern will be used for both regions.
You need to specify 3 nodes as reference for the primary and other 3 nodes for the secondary/follower.
linear and circular grouping is available only for Topography optimizaiton. For topology, symetry constraints, and pattern repetition are available, alongside with draw direction, extrusion, overhang and 5-axis milling.
