About this Block

What it does: The Topology Optimization Density Point Map block creates a Scalar Point Map from a Topology Optimization that represents the TopOpt’s density result. Common uses:
  • Can visualize density results from Topology Optimization.
Tips:
  • The point map consists of all the nodal points from the Topology Optimization, and the density values associated with each of those points. These points and values are accessible in the properties of the Point Map.
  • The HUD can be used to change the Lower bound, Upper bound color palette and units as required.
  • The point map can be exported with the Export Point Map block.
