OS-E: 0895 Flat Plate with Thermal Compliance Response
Demonstrates the usage of thermal compliance responses with Topology Optimization in
OptiStruct.
A flat plate structure is considered which is subject to a heat flux input on the
entire surface (defined by CHBDYE elements). The middle section
of the top edge of the plate is maintained at a constant temperature. Topology
optimization is performed, and results of element densities are obtained.Figure 1. Flat Plate with Input Flux in the Entire Surface and Fixed
Temperature at the Top Edge
