Add a Topology Link node (
) under a
Materials node in a model component to add material based on a material that you have added under the global
Materials node (
) and
Density Model use(
) that you have added under the component
Definitions node (
). To add it, right-click the
Materials node and choose
Topology Link from the
More Materials submenu.
The Topology Link will be added automatically, if one of the topology optimization study steps is chosen in the model wizard.
From the Material list, select the global material that you want to link to:
From the Topology source list, select the
Density Model, which should modify the material. The Density model will scale the Young’s modulus with the
penalized material volume factor (
dtopo#.theta_p), and the density with the
output material volume factor (
dtopo#.theta).
