A
B
C
D
Design space: Space in which material may be or which may be change and redistributed during optimization
Detail: Edge length of the FEM elements at the highest resolution level
Displacement: Prescribed displacement, e.g. to map fixations
E
Estimate: Estimation of target volume and stress in a few minutes/iterations
F
Filigree: Designtype setting
Functional Surfaces: All surfaces that experience a force or fixation and/or represent connection points to other obejcts
G
H
I
J
K
L
Load Case: Defined loads and fixations are combined into load cases
M
Machining allowance: Allowance for post-processing steps of the optimization results on the functional surfaces
Manufacture: Optimization with very good printable surface quality
Massive: Designtype setting
Material: Each object is assigned a material with the material data Young's Modulus and Poisson's ratio
Material space: Union of the designspace and the nondesignspaces
N
Nondesign space: Spaces, which must contain material and which are not changed during the optimization
Normal: Designtype setting
O
Object: Geometry element, e.g. surface, volume etc.
Optimize: Execution of an optimization
P
Q
R
S
Symmetry: Calculation of symmetrical components around the coordinate origin
Startspace: Optimization starts with a specified object as the base object
Stress: Optimization target, maximum permitted stress
T
Topology Optimization: Iterative process in which an optimum material distribution is achieved in the designspace under specified boundary conditions.
U
V
Voidspace: Spaces in which no material is allowed
