I am not able to decide what design responses I need to take? Should I take displacement or stresses? I am having problem in deciding upper and lower bound of those responses.

    To start with you can use compliance and volume fraction and you can then fine tune your design.

    I have tried with volume fraction -0.4 stress upper bound corresponding to fos 3 with objective as minimize mass but the shape after optimization is not proper.I have even tried with draw direction but still its not proper. i want to look for the shape which can be fabricated.
