Optimize young modulus/ material design
Hello,
I wonder whether it is possible to design/optimize material distribution in order to conform with prescribed displacement and elastic forces in Hyperworks. In fact, I want to have force and displacement as input, and optimize the material distribution (Young modulus in stiffness matrix) based on that. I have recently read a paper with providing solutions for this, but I do not know if it is possible to implement it in Hyperworks.
I will appreciate if anyone could provide me any clue/helps.
Thanks.

P.S. Here is the paper I was talking about: 'Xu, Hongyi, et al. 'Interactive material design using model reduction.' ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) 34.2 (2015): 18.'

Hi,
Multi-material topology optimization can find the optimum material layout and additionally can select the optimum material from the set of materials provided by the user.
Attached a sample model for the same.
