Displacement requirement

Hi everyone,

 

I am using Inspire version 2019.0.1 and have the following problem: I have a loadcase setup with defined forces on my product and I want to set up a requirement for one edge of my product to have at least a displacement of for example 50mm in the topology optimized result. How do I do that? I have already tried to use the function 'enforced displacement' but then it says: 'Incompatible Loads: You cannot maximize stiffness with an enforced displacement and any other load. Please remove other loads from the enforced displacement load case.'

In my case it would make no sense, because I want a topology optimization with a defined forced AND a defined displacement. Is it possible to do this in another way?

    Please try displacement constraints instead of enforced displacement for maximize stiffness case.
