ANSYS Topology Optimization ACT Extension
• Summary of capabilities:
– This ACT App installs a Topology Optimization System in the Workbench Project Schematic – The ACT App exposes Topology Optimization capabilities in Workbench Mechanical – Various optimization objective and constraint response types are available for optimizing Static Structural designs – The shape of the optimized design can be viewed and saved in the form of an STL file – SpaceClaim can be used to clean up, modify and convert the STL file into a solid model – The design can be verified by importing the solid model into a downstream Static Structural System and performing validation analysis – The STL file of the optimized model can be sent to a 3D printer for manufacture
Loading the extension:
1. From the Extension Manager, click on your extension and choose ‘Load Extension’ 2. The extension is loaded
Notes: • The extension to be installed will be stored in the following location: %AppData%\Ansys\v170\ACT\extensions • The installation will create a folder in this location, in addition to the .wbex file
