Smooth Optimization Results

You can smooth the results of a topology optimization in the Shape Explorer and save it as an STL file.

Select the Smooth Results check box on the Shape Explorer to smooth the results of a topology optimization. This option is enabled by default.



Click the icon to change the smoothing method.

Maintain Part Volume While Smoothing
This is the default option. Drag the slider to modify the smoothness of the results.
Ignore Part Volume While Smoothing
This option tends to provide even smoother results, but material may appear thin or be removed entirely in some regions.
Smoothing Iterations
The greater the number of iterations, the smoother the result will be.
