Hello

I need to optimize the topology, where the elastic strain energy is minimum while the dissipated energy is maximum in the model.

The problem is I do not see the dissipated energy in the available selection in the design response. I can see the following in the design response: elastic energy, volume, weight, displacement,.........etc. However the dissipated energy is not included.

So how can i use the dissipated energy as a design response although it is not included?

Thank you in advance
