Inspire: Shape optimization after thickness optimization

BH_Kim

Hello,

I learned the Inspire optimization.

In the guage optinization, I can optimize the thickness but I want to optimize the shape like cutting hole to reduce the weight.

How can I do it? I would like to use the surface with thickness.

Kind Regards,

BH Kim

Surface / shell models can be used for topology optimisation.

There is an example in the Demo Browser models. Press F7 to open the browser and select:select:2dtopology_and_contact_RUN.stmod

Setup is similar to topology optimisation for solid parts (there are tutorials for this e.g. Optimizing Topology - Minimize Mass).
