Minimizing the Material Volume with Stress Constraint | ||
| ||
The described example uses the following model:
(Design elements are shown in blue, the elements in red are defined as non-design elements due to loads and boundary conditions.)
 |
The optimization setup is to minimize material volume having a constraint on the‘Maximum von Mises stress’.

The following diagram shows the difference between the maximal elemental centroidal Von Mises stress from solver and from SIMULIA Tosca Structure:
