- Assign a Material to each object/surface and enter the specific values for the Young's Modulus (210e3) and poisson ratio (0.28) in the Material Editor
- Activate the option design space for the relevant stl file. Only one volume can be selected as such. In this case: Pedaldesign1
Step 3: Definition of boundary conditions
...
- A total of 1 force and 1 fixation should have been created as a result
- The object "Pedalfixation1" does not experience any force or fixation but is it's necessary to connect the pedal with the axle. Therfore the form is considered in the optimization.
All boundary conditions must be assigned to the load cases. The number of load cases can be changed using the "+" or "-" characters. The assignment of the boundaries to the load cases can be made in the boundary conditions or load cases area.

- Choose the design type normal
- Enter the optimization goal stress: 60 MPa
- Set the symmetry setting: Z-Axis. The Z-Axis symmetry constraint is used to span a plane along the x- and y-axes in the coordinate origin.
Open: Result File Formats and select "stl Files Intersected"
All Inputs can be viewed and checked in the configuration file. The file should look like this.

Step 5: Save the project
Step 6: Starting the optimization and visualizing the results
