Issue:

I ran a Topology Optimization, but the result gives me multiple disjointed bodies. How do I get a solid body as the result?

Applies to:

• Topology Optimization
• Optimization Objective

Cause:

This is occurring because the Optimization Objective Goal is set to 'Maximize'

Solution:

To get a single body, set the Optimization Object Goal to 'Minimize'.
