Part 2 of 2: Ansys 2023 R2 Topology Optimization Tutorial

Tutorial from my ME 5335 Introduction to Finite Element Analysis class at the University of Minnesota Duluth. The file used in the tutorial is available here: blog.engineeri...
Part two of the tutorial covers a mass minimization topology optimization with a peak stress constraint. See the this first part of this tutorial for the default compliance minimization topology optimization with a retained mass constraint.

Great video! Thanks a lot! Can you tell us the procedure if you don't have a 2D model which ist extruded after re-sketching in SpaceClaim? How does it work if the optimized body is a 3D solid? Then we do not have a sketching plane. Answer would be great.

It's possible to to convert the mesh directly into a 3D solid. See the 26:35 point in my shape optimization video for an example of how to do this: th-cam.com/video/vK9p7XFpk0o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_tlaQqN8zRVcmhDX&t=1595

Thank you so much. I will try this solution very soon.
