Create solid body after shape optimization simulation

Ok, here's my problem, I need a bracket and I wanted it to look cool, so I took all the measurements, threw them into Fusion and run a shape optimization simulation, however I have a problem now, I have no idea on how to make a solid body from this complex shape, I just don't have the skills.

Can somebody please tell me how I should approach this? I have already added the holes but I need to create the center frame. I tried to create a pipe in the form function and modify it to shape, however it took way too long and didn't turn out well.

I have added the images of what my project looks like, every suggestion is welcome as I really don't know what to do.

Thank you,

Andrea

I think the output of a shape optimization is a mesh body.  Assuming you need a solid body (do you?  What do you plan to do with this solid body if you can get one?)  There are a couple of approaches.  In the Mesh workspace, there is a Convert Mesh command which will do a brute-force conversion (one mesh facet turns into one solid body face).

That will result in a very heavy solid, but can be usable in some workflows.  Otherwise, I'll refer you to @TrippyLighting 's post here:  how-to-work-with-irregular-and-organic-stl-files for another workflow that some have found useful.
