Topology and shape optimization through Ansys workbench

[masoud1994]

Dear guys,


I am working on optimization area for my thesis. recently I got a problem with optimization module in Ansys Workbench, the aim is doing optimization of 2 parts which are designed and assembled in Ansys, that I'm going to have the reduction of just one part and filling the reduced parts with second part's material. another question is that why the Ansys optimization avoids reducing boundaries in one part? please find the following attached photos

thanks for your help
