Topology Optimization in ANSYS with Multiple Load Cases (Fully Narrated Tutorial)

In this video tutorial, I will show you the complete process of running a Topology Optimization analysis with multiple load cases in ANSYS. From this video tutorial, you will learn.
1. How to run a topology optimization analysis.
2. Design validation.
3. Named selections creation
4. Mesh recommendation for an optimized body to run a validation analysis on it
5. How to check mesh quality for FEA analysis.
Let’s get started.

I can't thank you enough buddy. I was stuck at post-processing my project. Your video saved my bachelor thesis. Thanks a lot!

[@mechtasia6643]

Welcome!

[@gionibegood6950]

i am totally completely new in suck optimisation, than you for sharing your knowledgaes

[@mechtasia6643]

Welcome!

[@mechcom5com168]

One of the best video on this topic available on UA-cam. Thanks!

[@mechtasia6643]

Welcome!

[@naseemali9808]

Thank you so much for explaining the topic in detail!

[@mechtasia6643]

You're very welcome!

[@muhammadrizwan977]

Amazing, it helped me alot. Waiting for more videos

[@mechtasia6643]

Glad to hear that

[@user-wf6nn4cp3z]

thank you so much! spend 5 hours trying to figure out what to do and only your video helped!

[@TheRealMCD]

Excellent content, very well explained. Thank you.

[@mechtasia6643]

Glad it was helpful!

[@skrublord2806]

Highest production quality FEA tutorial I've ever seen

[@mechtasia6643]

Thanks!

[@riccardogiuggioloni9691]

Very useful. Clear explanation. Thank you

[@mechtasia6643]

Welcome!

[@Tannerhasabike]

Thank you for the tutorial!
Is there a difference between applying multiple load steps in one static analysis vs having multiple static analysis like this? ie, are the stresses in each step summed/avg if multiple load steps are used?

[@mechtasia6643]

One can use both approaches to run multiple load step topology optimization analysis. This approach gives much more control as we can specify weight to any specific load which we think would be critical to our geometry/part.

[@sylvaincalmels1284]

Thank you for your video, very clear and helpful. I applied this on one of my model but faced an issue when it came to the validation analysis step. My model is not made of 1 single component like this of your example, it's an assembly of several components and I do optimization only on 1 of them. When I transfer the data to the validation system, only the optimized component is transfered, not the whole assembly, which makes the validation analysis useless this way. Do you have a tip which could help still using this simple way to create the validation analysis but for a more complex assemblied model where only 1 of the component is optimized ?

[@mechtasia6643]

Welcome! One possible solution for your problem is that you can export the geometry in STL and then clean up the geometry in ANSYS SpaceClaim. You can also convert the optimized STL geometry in SOLID(STEP) by using SpaceClaim and then make the assembly again in any CAD modeling software and run the Static Structural analysis on the assembly.

[@mayurnikam1344]

Please upload more videos on geometry optimisation using Ansys..

[@mechtasia6643]

Sure

[@Boyibolomi]

Great

[@arupdey897]

This tutorial was a great help for me.
Can you please help me know how to reduce the analysis time taken in the topological optimization?
What steps needs to follow in the analysis settings of Topological Optimization part?

[@s69046]

I do request to post videos on different meshing qualities. Thank you ❤️

[@mechtasia6643]

Welcome! I will in near future

[@xratik_]

Thank You sir, can you please make video on cleanup of optimized geometry in space claim?

[@mechtasia6643]

Welcome!

[@arslanbinriaz]

Hi, first of all thanks for such a nice video. I get this "*** ERROR *** Generating constant data failed". Any tips?
p.s. I am doing lattice optimization

[@BrunoVieiraC]

Loved the content, helped me a lot in my projects. Would like to contact you, if possible, to exchange some knowledge on Topology Optimization and Additive Manufacture.
Keep up the good work!

[@mechtasia6643]

Thanks!

[@dilshanchaaminda1619]

How this STL file clean and print spaceclaim

[@yashmakvana6183]

Sir, can you share any project ideas for manufacturing student related to ANSYS software?

[@mechtasia6643]

You can use airplane landind gear wheel arm and optimize its geometry for your project.

[@techhunt4922]

i am unable to se the objective right. it says "Invalid "Environment Selection"
"

[@J.M.D-clips]

First viewer

[@catchupav7101]

Explained very 👌. How to add stress values as a limit?

[@mechtasia6643]

Right Click on the (Response Constraint > insert > Global Von-Misses stress constraint). From here you can add stress values as a limit.

[@indusjs3140]

Where is the next tutorial using SpaceClaim to smoothen the geometry? Can't find it.

[@mechtasia6643]

I am working on it will upload the video within a week. Thanks!

[@goldenrass6966]

My smoothing isn’t working , any idea why

[@mechtasia6643]

Increasing or decresing the value may help.

[@curtischan137]

Any reason why you didnt do this in Ansys Discovery?

[@mechtasia6643]

Ansys topology optimization gives you much more flexibility when it comes to multiple load steps, meshing, design validation, etc.

[@anthonydimuria5560]

Please exclude the background music

[@mechtasia6643]

Next time I will consider this. Thanks for the suggestion

[@sb8087]

Please without music.

[@mechtasia6643]

Next time 😀
