Add preserved regions to your model that will not be modified during a
topology optimization.
You can freeze regions of your model that are contacting other parts,
such as regions that are used to support the model and regions that form bearing
surfaces. These regions do not participate in a topology optimization and remain
unchanged.
To access the Preserved Region
PropertyManager:
- Right-click Manufacturing Controls, and
select Add Preserved Region
.
Faces where you apply loads and boundary conditions are treated as
frozen regions automatically. Select Regions with loads and
fixtures in tab.
