Structural optimization

Let the load paths decide the shape. Optimization in FEA Lab is driven by real structural response, so the result is a part that can be built.

Optimization against a real solve

Topology and parametric optimization in FEA Lab are driven by an actual finite element solve, not a density field that happens to look plausible. The objective can be mass, stiffness, stress, or a combination, and the constraint is the structure you actually have.
