Hi all,

What's the meaning of 'beadfrac' response in topography optimization?  How to compute it by equations? And how to use it correctly?

    The beadfrac response is unique to topography optimization

    •May be used as objective or constraint

    •More discrete results will be achieved with a lower beadfrac setting

    Refer online help for more information.
