Modelled Design Space:

Several load cases with different force application points were chosen for the topology optimization as the position of the brake disk in relation to the bake anchor plate is not exactly clear. Through this variation the impact of force application point position on the optimization result can be later on examined.

Load Case 1:

Load Case 2:

Load Case 3:

Results of the Topology Optimization:

During the optimization process many facturing restrictions and other model properties got varied. In the end of the process, the structure shown below emerged.
