nTop Live: Stress Constraint for Topology Optimization

By applying a stress constraint in Topology Optimization you can generate high-performance part geometry that complies with a predetermined stress threshold, avoiding stress concentrations while minimizing mass or maximizing stiffness.

In this nTop Live, Evan Pilz, Application Engineer at nTopology, takes a closer look at the stress constraint for Topology Optimization. He walks you through a basic topology optimization workflow and explains how to reliably generate stress constrained optimization results and how to balance computational time with optimization accuracy.

Watch and learn how to:

• Set up a workflow to perform stress constrained Topology Optimization in nTopology
• Avoid stress concentrations in topology optimization solutions
• Balance computation time with optimization accuracy.
