Create a manufacturing constraint
The following procedure creates a manufacturing constraint modeling object and adds it to the topology optimization solution. To create a manufacturing constraint without adding it to a solution, use the Modeling Objects command.
| First step |
| > 1. Select the manufacturing constraint type. |
How do I
- Select the manufacturing constraint type.
2a. Define the planar symmetry.
2b. Define the cyclic symmetry.
2c. Define the maximum member size.
2d. Define the minimum member size.
2e. Define the casting die direction.
2f. Define the extrusion direction.
2g. Define the checker boarding control.
2h. Define the additive manufacturing overhang angle.
