Output a secondary fem after optimization
Hello,
I am running some optimizations and would like to generate a secondary .fem file as an output. The new fem file would have the updated dimensions of the input model (similar to the second optimization step during lattice optimization). My model has many design variables so updating them manually would not be feasible.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Rahul,
I am running sizing optimizations, not topology. Is there a way to generate a new 'updated' fem model after sizing operations are done?
-Thanks
Is that a free size with composite or simple size optimization?
The optimization is simple size optimization of tapered beam elements (the same as lattice optimization, but I have built the model myself). There are many design variables representing intersection joint between the beams. DEVPREL1 cards are made to link the design variables to all the tapered beams ends.
You can check FEA reanalysis , which is available for topology and topography optimization.
