With Constraints, Loads, Moments, Gravity and Pressure Boundary Conditions can be created which are required for the optimisation.
Displacement Constraints:
Displacement constaints constraints can be applied to geometries. By default the displacement constraint locks the translation in all three directions. Individual degrees of freedom can be deselected. The rotational degrees of freedom will be always locked.
Geometries on which a displacement constraint is applied become automatically a Non-Design Space.
Force-Moment:
Forces and Moments can be applied to any Geometry (Volume/Surface).
...
All forces and moments can be applied on volumes, surfaces, edges and points. Please be aware, that when a boundary condition is applied on a surface/edge/point only this will be automatically a Non-Design Space. In most cases a bigger Non-Design Space is needed, which should be created separately or the boundary condition needs to be applied on a volume.
The image below shows that with Non-Design 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.
...
Pressure loads can be applied only on surfaces. It doesn’t matter if the surface is plane or not. The Pressure magnitude is the only value which is required. The chosen surface will automatically become a Non-Design Space.
