      Hi everyone,


      I am trying to optimize the topology that I have which is modeled with composite materials. Once I try this, it gives an error as " Layered section is not allowed in the current analysis". Is there any way to overcome this error?


      Thanks in advance.

      Currently using layered elements in topology optimization is not possible. There is an enhancement request in place , so that this can be implemented in a future release
