Which constraints are compatible with each other?

Objective:

Understand which Optimization Constraints are compatible 

Optimization Constraint Compatibility Matrix

Applies to:

  • Topology Optimization

Procedure:

  Symmetry Constraint Passive Region Constraint Response Constraint Extrusion Constraint Min Feature Size Constraint Overhang Constraint Pattern Repetition Constraint Surface Extrusion Constraint Remap Constraint Max Feature Size Constraint Demolding Constraint Machining Constraint
Symmetry Constraint 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1
Passive Region Constraint 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Response Constraint 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Extrusion Constraint 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1
Min Feature Size Constraint 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Overhang Constraint 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0
Pattern Repetition Constraint 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1
Surface Extrusion Constraint 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1
Remap Constraint 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
Max Feature Size Constraint 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1
Demolding Constraint 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
Machining Constraint 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1

 

Note:

  • Machining Constraints include a 3-axis Milling Constraint and a 5-axis Milling Constraint.
  • Response Constraints includes Natural Frequency Constraint.
