1. Select the manufacturing constraint type.

1. In the Simulation Navigator, under an active topology optimization solution, right-click the Manufacturing Constraint container and select New Manufacturing Constraint.

2. In the Name box, type a unique name for this manufacturing constraint.

3. In the Label box, type a unique integer for the modeling object.The dialog box automatically displays the next available modeling object number. However, you might want to change this if you use a particular series of numbers to identify certain types of modeling objects.

4. (Optional) In the Description box, type a description for this manufacturing constraint.You can also click Description to open the Description dialog box. This lets you see more of the text that you type, as well as cut, copy, or paste text.

5. From the Constraint Type list, select the type of manufacturing constraint that you are creating.For more information about manufacturing constraint types, see Manufacturing constraints in topology optimization.The next step to take depends on your selection.
