TOPTDATABASE

Description Type Default
Controls the storage and retrieval of topology design optimization density data. The default value DELETE purges all element density data when the program terminates normally. When set to STORE, the converged optimized design is stored in a single file with the same base name as the Model Results Output File and a .ODB file extension. When set to FETCH, the optimized design specified by the TOPTDATFILE directive is retrieved and used as the starting point for the subsequent topology design optimization solution sequence. When set to UPDATE, the optimized design data will be retrieved and stored.
