Hello all,
I have designed a concrete beam for 3 Point bending test. The material in all 4 simulations are the same. BCs are also the same, with a downward displacement of the roller by 0.42mm. Optimization settings are also the same with objective of minimizing strain energy, I only varied the...
Hello guys!
I was playing around the TO parameters and I got this result using these parameters.
Parameters:
Objective Minimize SE, constraint <=30% volume fract. & max member thickness 30mm
With the same setup, I changed the VF constraint to 50% and Max Member Thickness on two separate...
Hi all,
I have designed a 3 point bending test of a concrete beam and did topology optimization on it. Attached below is the result, I am generally satisfied with it but I have been trying to smoothen the sharp edges and introduce a symmetry about the middle (Left half design = Right half...
Hello all,
I followed a youtube video & made a 3 point bending test simulation for my concrete beam. Was trying to find the optimal number of mesh to use so I tried a few simulations with different mesh size & got different stress patterns and more stress concentration at contact point instead...
