Regarding Topology Optimization

Altair Forum User

Hi,

As I am new to hypermesh and Optistruct, I would like to know how to do topology optimization for a solid component.

 

Objective

1. Maximizing the frequency of the solid component.

2. Minimizing the mass of the component.  

 

I searched for documents regarding the same but I dint find any.

It would be of great help if I get to know the way to perform the topology optimization.

 

Thank You 

Regards

Hi Nishanth

 

Please refer below Tutorials. I think this will give you an idea how to setup for optimization. If you still have any doubts , let me know.

Also for more details you can refer to our optimization eBook. Please download from below link.
