Hi All, 

I am using Ansys Mechanical 2022R2 - Topology Optimization for a Project. 

Is there a way, I can get the Compliance value for each iteration after optimisation has been completed. (Objective Function is minimization of Compliance)

I did explore files produced by Ansys, Found 'ObjectiveHistory.out' to be relative but unsure about how these values are produced and what's their unit,  What exactly is the difference between Non-Dimensional_Objective value and Objective value?

Could somebody please guide on this ? 

This is what ObjectiveHistory.out looks like:

Thanks,

Rushil

Hi,

 

Please see if the following link helps: Topology Optimization (ansys.com)

Hi Ashish, 

This does not really answer my question. What I am really looking for is the significance (and units) of Non-Dimensional_Objective value and Objective value produced in 'ObjectiveHistory.out file' or Compliance value for each iteration after optimisation has been completed. 

Thanks,

Rushil
