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.
