Connect Design Space to Structure with RBE3

Voxel workflow is used to generate design space for topology optimization. RBE3s are used to connect the design space to the structure.

You must have created at least one design space using the Voxel tool.

  1. From the Mesh ribbon, click the Voxel > Connect tool.


    Figure 1.
  2. Optional: On the guide bar, click to define design space tolerance options.
  3. On the guide bar, select the design space to attach.
  4. On the guide bar, select the structure to connect to the voxel design space. This can be either parts, components, or elements.
  5. Click Create.
    RBE3s are generated with the dependent node on the voxel design space, and the independent nodes are connected to the structure.
