Topology Optimization of a Plate

In this tutorial, you set up a Topology study with the goal to find the best strength to weight ratio of a plate while reducing its mass by 50%.

You create a Topology study to examine optimized shapes of a steel plate fixed on one side and loaded with a 750 N load.

  1. Opening the Part

  2. Creating a Topology Study

  3. Setting Study Properties and Running the Study

  4. Viewing Results
