To simulate the reality it is also possible to load in an extra volume that’s representing the screw. But keep in mind that the screw will become part of the Design space, so you will need the original space without the screw to generate a good intersection (More Information hereFurther information Advanced User Settings - Intersection - FR LENNART ). The screw (blue) will be used as a fixation and is considered fixed in all directions. Additionally, there should be a nondesign space around the screw (red) , which will be included in the design space as well, but which will not be used as a fixation in the optimization model. This way the nondesign space does not experience an artificial stiffening, which represents the reality much more accurately.
