I have a problem when using Inspire for topology optimization. In optimizing the bracket part below (a part of the tutorial), it failed multiple times. I don't know what caused the failure. Can anybody help take a look at it? I attached the stmod file below. Thanks!
Hi @GSUeagle01,
Can you please try to solve this model with the OptiStruct solver selected?
File » Preferences » Inspire » Run Options » Analysis Solver » OptiStruct
I was able to solve the model without issue, but that is the default solver I have selected.
Hope this helps!

Hi Adam,
Thank you for your prompt response! I changed the solver to "OptiStruct". But the topology optimization still failed.
Hello @GSUeagle01,
Please make sure your contacts are define properly, I am able to solve it, attaching the solved file and image for your reference. 😊

Hi @SouravDas0306 ,
Sorry for the late response. Our IT service office upgraded Inspire to the 2026 version. Now the optimization can be solved. I am not sure if the 2025.1 version had a licensing problem on our site. We tried different ways, but couldn't resolve the problem.
