      In this video you will see how you can activate the manufacturing constraints for topology optimization. These include, Min Thickness, Max thickness, Pull direction, Table direction, Overhang prevention. Once you’ve activated a manufacturing constraint, it will be visible in the Physics Tree. For constraints that need only a value, you can enter the value in the Tree. To specify any additional information, double-click the manufacturing constraint to view the HUD.
