In this case only one force is defined on the contact plate with the foot:
Name | Force/Moment/Pressure/Gravity | Direction | Value in N |
|---|---|---|---|
Force-Moment1 | Force | y | -1000 |
...
One constraint is created and attached on the inner surface of the cylinder:
Name | Direction |
|---|---|
Constraint 1 | x, y, z (=0) |
...
Step 4: Definition of Events (load cases)
...
The optimisation is finished after 64 iterations (Shape Quality: Balanced).
You can check the status of the optimisation in the GD Status and get more information on Warning and Error messages. This can be done directly in the Post-Processing as well as in the Studies tab for an optimisation that has already run.

Generative Design
You can always change the Strut Density, Stress Goal and Complexityto influence the results and try out different options
The Complexitycan be increased for a higher resolution and more detailed result (increased calculation time!)
The Strut Densityinfluences the structures which are formed during optimisation
...
The mass of each iteration can be visualized with a diagram
