I would like to have two basis files (a basis file where the source is inputted at each arm) being optimized simultaneously, in order to ensure identical response whether the source is at the top or bottom arm, but this results in some errors. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Another way I thought about it is to enforce topology optimization to search through the symmetric design space only, but I am not sure how I can adjust the code to do so, any suggestions would be appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Ahmed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-166460","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["520"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["244900"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["166460"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27833"],"_bbp_engagement":["14496","244900"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["205702"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["205702"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-02-24 19:38:52"]},"test":"ahmed-bayoumiimec-be"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166460\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
