Chapter 1: Topology Optimization of a Structural C-ClipStep 4: Create a mirrored duplicate of the upper surface elements1. Click Tool to select the tool page.2. Select the reflect panel.3. Click the switch under the Reflect heading and, from the pop up menu, selectelems.4. Click elems button and select displayed from the pop up menu.5. Click elems again and from the pop up menu select duplicate, and from the nextpop up menu select original comp.6. Click the switch in the center of the page. From the pop up menu, select the normaldirection of the reflection plane (the y-axis in this case).7. Click base and select the node as shown in Figure 1-3.The node is needed to reflect the mesh about the y-axis.Figure 1-3: Node to select as base to reflect elements8. Click reflect.Mesh appears in the lower half of the image.9. Click return.10. To refresh the screen, from the permanent menu click p (or press P on thekeyboard).8Concept Design Using Topology and Topography Optimization OptiStruct 7.0Proprietary Information of Altair Engineering, Inc.
Chapter 1: Topology Optimization of a Structural C-ClipStep 5: Equivalencing duplicate nodes between the meshesThe nodes on the edges shared by the two surfaces are defined for each edge. Theyneed to be equivalenced.1. Select the edges panel.2. With the left mouse button, click any of the elements in the figure to select it andplace its component into the comps buffer.3. Click preview equiv.This highlights the twenty-one nodes defining the seam between the two sets ofelements.4. Click equivalence.The message “21 nodes were equivalenced” appears.5. Click return to go back to the Tool page.Define LoadsStep 1: Create load collectorsCreate two load collectors and assign each a color: spc (green) and forces (red).Follow these steps for each load collector.1. Go to the BCs page.2. Click collectors.3. Verify the create subpanel is active.4. Click the switch to the right of collector type: and select loadcols from the menu.Use steps 4 – 8 to create each load collector and assign its name and color per thediagram.5. Click name = and type in the name of the loadcollector.6. Press enter.7. Click color and select assigned color from thepop-up menu.Load Collectors andDisplay ColorLoad Collector Colorspc greenforces red8. Click create.It is not necessary to assign a card image for these load collectors.9. When both collectors are created, click return to go back to the BCs page.OptiStruct 7.0Concept Design Using Topology and Topography OptimizationProprietary Information of Altair Engineering, Inc.9
