Volume Constraint

The share of the design space that stays material: 0.3 keeps 30 % of it. Topology Optimization needs exactly one.

Inputs

Volume fraction Number

Share of the design space that stays material, from 0.01 to 1.

Output

Limit

Used by: Topology Optimization

Properties

Values the block gives besides its output. The editor lists them under Properties, and an input can read one by reference.

PenaltyField Number

How far the Solid breaks the rule at each point, 0 where it is met; only there when a Solid is connected.

MaxAngle Number

The steepest overhang allowed, measured against the build plate, in degrees.

BuildDirection Vector

The direction the part grows in, normal to the build plate.

MinSize Number

The thinnest wall or smallest feature allowed.

Limit Number

The bound a Metric is held to (at most, at least, or equal).
