Description: Determines the appropriate Topology Optimization Engine to use.
Option/Type: When set to OCM, the Optimality Criteria Method is used. When set to MAM, the Multiple Asymptote Method is used. When set to AUTO, the solver determines the best optimization approach based on the objective and constraint applied.
The Optimality Criteria Method may provide improved performance when the objective of the topology optimization is to minimize compliance with a fixed volume fraction. The Multiple Asymptote Method is a general purpose topology optimization engine that will work with any objective or constraint. It may require more design iterations and result in an increased solution time.
