Hello Colleagues
I am a newbie in topology optimization. I have a simple question, in case to clarify what i understood from the documentation.
Lets say i run a simple case of a beam with one force on one end and fixed boundary condition on the other. My objective is to minimize volume and my constraint is use to only 0.5 percent of the initial mass.
The results i receive are displayed with a isosurface which controls the value MAT_PROP_NORMALIZED
Here is my confusion: as i already gave a constraint of 0.5 of initial volume, why can i pull the slider introducing more material ? As it displays the computed density (during the cycles) of the elements, how can i select the most optimum position of the slider then ?!
please help me clarify this concept of displaying results
thanx in advance
