Visualize Topology Optimization Results

In case of topology optimization, the files produced by Tosca Structure.report contain all optimization steps. In each step, only the elements with the material value above a certain limit are displayed.

  • This limiting value is set to 0.05 but it may be changed in the parameters to Tosca Structure.report: in Tosca ANSA® environment, it is the value of FILTER MIN field of CONTOUR_PLOT PARAMETERS dialog.

    The following figure shows the first and the last iterations of a topology optimization:
