How can a user activate NX Nastran Topology Optimization (NXN016) from NX or
Simcenter?
Solution
To use NX Nastran Topology Optimization in SC 11, users have to take a step to
have the controls appear in the ribbon. Here is what needs to be done:
1. RMB in an empty area of the ribbon and activate the standard Optimization
tab. Out of the box, this tab contains 3 active groups (Optimization, Checks
and Information, Utilities). There is a fourth group (NX Nastran Topology
Optimization Group) that is off by default.
2. LMB on the far right hand side of the ribbon (Ribbon Options - highlighted
in blue below). Toggle on the "NX Nastran Topology Optimization Group"
User should end up with a 4th optimization group on the optimization ribbon
bar which contains 2 icons (Setup and Post Processing).
