Draw load paths by connecting the applied loads (red arrows) to the supports (green triangles). Then see the optimized solution!
In real structural engineering, topology optimization finds the most efficient material layout by removing material from areas that don't contribute to load transfer. The optimal load path shows where material is needed most — this is what software like ANSYS computes for TopoCore's designs.
Your task: Draw lines connecting each load point to the supports. Try to create the most direct, efficient path. The "Show Optimal" button reveals the mathematically optimal solution based on structural mechanics principles.
