With the Loads & Boundary Condition Tools all Boundary Conditions can be created which are required for the optimization. It can be chosen between Displacement Constraints and Structural Loads.

The orientation of the force or moment can be changed directly during the creation by adding angles to the global coordinate system. Otherwise the force/moment can refer to a local coordinate system.

The force/A force should always be applied to volumes/cells which automatically become Nondesign spaces. A moment can be applied on cells, surfaces, edges and points which automatically become a Nondesign space. We always work with cells as load/constraint application point. The image below shows that with nondesign spaces on the left the functional areas that are important for the post processing are completely available. On the right side only the surfaces were used as load/constraint application points and no post processing after additive manufacturing is possible.
