TOPTGLBDMETHOD

Description Type Default

Global displacement constraint method for topology design optimization. There are three options:

1 - The maximum displacement is approximated by P-norm of all displacements in a region. The global displacement value can be different from the maximum displacement.

2 - The maximum displacement is approximated by an exponential function of all displacements in a region. The global displacement value can be different from the maximum displacement.

3 - The maximum displacement is used as it is without approximation. The grid of maximum displacement might change during optimization iteration. The global displacement value is identical to the maximum displacement.
