multiple load case scenario topology optimization

[dkakth]

Hello

I am new into the subject

how could i make topology optimization of a detail, since it has multiple loading conditions ?

i need rough guidelines / directions / materials to read

thanx in advance

simulia have dedicated topology optimization software called tosca. if you have access to it you could start there:

It is also directly integrated in Abaqus/CAE, so it is easy to define the optimization on top of the FE-simulation.

thanks colleagues

Yes i have access to tosca and i know the process in general

my question is what we do in case we have different load scenarios, hence different loads which does not act simultaneously

You can specify the loadcases that shall be used in the optimization. In A/CAE option can be found in the dialog where you define the Design Response.
