  Hi,
  
  I'm using Ansys 17.1 with the Topology Optimisation ACT extension. I have been having some problems in getting it to work.
  
  1) Linking Static structural Solution to topology Optimisation Set-up
  
  All the resources I can find online suggest this is crucial, however i cant seem to do this on Workbench.
  
  As im using an act extension, i cant create the link by "transfer to new" option in the static cstructural set-up.
  
  2. Also I wanted to ask about the capability of the topology optimisation extension I'm using. Does it support design dependent pressure loads? I cant seem to get it to work.
  
  Any references or advice would be great
  
  Thanks.

  Please try to upgrade to the latest version.
  
  Topology optimization is built into the code and has undergone numerous changes since v17.2
