Topology Optimization Driven Ribs on a Swing Arm

In this nTop Live, Yuki Okada, Technical Marketing Engineer at nTopology, shows you how to reduce the mass of a motorcycle swing arm. He shells the swing arm and adds a rib grid. To optimize the rib grid he runs a topology optimization and uses the result to drive the rib grid. He also adds in a draft angle for easy removal after being casted.
Watch and learn how to:
- Shell and add a rib grid
- Run a topology optimization and drive the rib grid using the top opt result
- Add in draft angles for easy removal

Best work

can I have the file? need to study on the booleans of the ribs

[@JensenRebias]

Why did you use two separate topology optimizations instead of two loadcases in the same topOp?

[@kingcole342]

Agree here... maybe a limitation of the solver they are using?
