Thermal topology optimization with mechanical constraint

Benjamin_20249

Hello All,

I would like to use optistrcut to perform a thermal topology optimization where I introduce heat convectively. Also, a pressure is applied to the part and the deformation must not exceed a certain value.
Is there a tutorial or similar where a thermal topology optimization is performed and the deformation is defined as an additional restriction?

Thanks in advance

Benjamin
