Topology Optimization - disconnected entities

[Anonymous]

Anyone knows the secret how to make sure entities remain connected?

Trying identical model on Solidworks and in Fusion with same material and optimization target (15% mass).

Solidworks - everything is connected and makes sense:

Fusion - disconnected and makes no sense:

Tries to adjust to finer mesh, increase target, etc. - nothing makes the results more better.

Any idea why Fusion fails to provide similar results?

Hi

Could you please provide the file?  With fine mesh settings and more target mass I would expect less disconnectedness. Need to check your model though. Thanka
