CAD Preparation: To use the symmetry function, the model must be centered in the coordinate origin along the symmetry plane.

Step 1: Create a new project

...

  • Choose the design type normal
  • Enter the optimization goal stress: 60 MPa
  • Set the symmetry setting: XY-Plane
  • Open Result File Formats. The following result files should be activated:
    • stl File: results of each iteration in stl file format
    • stl Files Intersected: result of each iteration intersected with the design space in stl file format
    • ply Files with Stress: results with the information of stresses of each iteration (must be activated to show the results in the Visualization space)
    • ply Files with Displacement: results with the information of displacements of each iteration (must be activated to show the results in the Visualization space)
    • More information on result file formats here
