Before We Begin

Why run Topology Optimization in nTop?

  • Consolidated workflow – edit your part in the same UI as your simulation and topology optimization results
  • Combine techniques – Easy post-processing (conversion, smoothening, shell, infill) of topology optimization results in suitable CAD components or manufacturable parts. 
  • Automation of Topology Optimization by changing design parameters at any step in the process.
  • Swift output of results, including CAD file format
  • Go beyond Topology Optimization for design insight – build a complete workflow for manufacturing

In this course, we will:

  1. Review FE Models and Boundary Conditions 
  2. Understand the different input options for running a Topology Optimization
  3. Explore the Constraints and optimization Objectives
  4. Apply Topology Optimization to a part of nTop
  5. Post-process an Optimized part
