What is the unit in optimization result?
Altair Employee 
I want to ask what is the unit in the optimization result
If it doesn't have unit, result is only to see density = 1 are the needed element?

Hi,
it is element density. 1 projects 100% material and say 0.5 projects 50% material. This means 50% material is retained. 0 Defines no material is retained.

Hi
I arrange my statement like this :
The density is element density. 1 represents the material be used in 100% in element area and 0.5 represents the material be used in 50% in this elements area. 0 defines no material is retained in element area.
I want to ask if I explain about that
It is right?

HI,
The scales shows the material required for a given set of loads and boundary conditions.
So 1 means 100% material is required in that area and 0 means no material is required.
You can also use ISO surface contour to see the optimized design for a particular ISO value

OK ! I got it
Really thank you
