Support for Assemblies in Topology OptimizationWhat is the benefit of this enhancement?
In Creo 5.0.0.0, Creo Topology Optimization is limited to parts. In Creo 6.0.0.0 you can perform an optimization of a component in an assembly, that considers the loading conditions of that assembly. A description of defining and running a topology optimization in an assembly, follows:
• Only a single component of the assembly is optimized, but the optimization leverages the loading conditions of the complete assembly
• You can have the following Simulation entities in the optimization for an assembly:
◦ Interface objects
◦ Autodetect contacts
◦ Solid weld objects
◦ Autodetect solid welds
◦ Simulation geometry review
• Only top-level analyses and topology objects are available for the optimization
• Only the optimized component is included in the geometry reconstruction process
