📄️ Preserves Overview
The preserve system defines the boundary conditions for design optimization in deFlex.
📄️ Input Preserves
Input preserves define where force enters the compliant mechanism.
📄️ Output Preserves
Output preserves define where the mechanism produces its desired motion.
📄️ Fixed Preserves
Fixed preserves anchor the mechanism and provide reaction forces for the topology optimizer.
📄️ Bolt Pads
Bolt pads are rectangular preserves around mounting locations in deFlex.
