How to create a user defined response constraint for a structural optimization

  Hi there, I am currently running a topology optimization, and I'd like to add the strain as a response constraint with a max value. Right now, I know that only displacement and compliance constraints can be applied in Ansys, but I'd like to directly get the Von Mises strain as a constraint. Is it possible to do so, and if yes, any idea/guidance on how to proceed? Thanks!

  No, only Von Mises stress (Global or Local) is available.
  All the best
