Complete workflow for topology optimization using Tosca. An agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub.
- Works in 3 steps: Setup Base Model → Configure Optimization → Run and Post-Process

- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Abaqus Topology Optimization is an agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. Complete workflow for topology optimization using Tosca. Use to minimize weight while maintaining stiffness. Requires full Abaqus license (not Learning Edition).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `UPSTREAM.md` and `metadata.json`).
The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Minimize weight while maintaining stiffness
Example prompts
- “/abaqus-topology-optimization”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash(abaqus:*), Skill
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 194ef49. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditGlobGrepBash(abaqus:*)Skill
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Abaqus Topology Optimization loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 519 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Abaqus Topology Optimization Workflow
Complete workflow for topology optimization - determining optimal material distribution to minimize weight while maintaining structural performance.
When to Use This Skill
Triggers: topology optimization, minimize weight, lightweight design, organic structure, generative design, where to remove material, material efficiency, design for additive
USE for: Minimize weight while maintaining stiffness, maximize stiffness for given weight, generate organic load-carrying structures
Do NOT use for: Shape optimization (surface only) -> /abaqus-shape-optimization, Learning Edition users -> Tosca requires full license
Important: License Required
Topology optimization requires a full Abaqus license with Tosca module. NOT available in Learning Edition.
Prerequisites
- Working static analysis that converges
- Design space defined (bounding volume for material)
- Clear objective (usually max stiffness at target weight)
- Known load cases and boundary conditions
Workflow Steps
Phase 1: Setup Base Model
/abaqus-geometry- Design space with partitions for frozen regions/abaqus-material- Elastic properties + density (required for TO)/abaqus-mesh- Fine mesh (2-5mm typical for TO)/abaqus-bc- Fixed supports (these regions become frozen)/abaqus-load- Applied forces (these regions become frozen)/abaqus-step- Static step for stiffness optimization
Phase 2: Configure Optimization
Use /abaqus-optimization for detailed API patterns.
- Create TopologyTask with SIMP interpolation
- Define design responses (volume, strain energy)
- Set objective function (minimize compliance)
- Add constraints (volume <= target fraction)
- Define frozen regions (BC and load attachment areas)
- Add manufacturing constraints (min member size)
Phase 3: Run and Post-Process
/abaqus-job- Submit OptimizationProcess/abaqus-odb- View density distribution/abaqus-export- STL export at density threshold (0.3-0.5 typical)
Key Decisions
| Goal | Objective | Constraint |
|---|---|---|
| Stiffest at weight | Minimize compliance | Volume <= X% |
| Lightest that works | Minimize volume | Compliance <= Y |
| Avoid resonance | Maximize frequency | Volume <= X% |
Most common: Minimize compliance with volume constraint at 30%.
Volume Fraction
| Fraction | Use Case |
|---|---|
| 20-30% | Aggressive (aerospace) |
| 30-40% | Balanced (general) |
| 40-50% | Conservative (safety-critical) |
Show full SKILL.md (216 more words)Show less
Manufacturing Constraints
| Constraint | When to Use |
|---|---|
| Minimum member size | Always (3-5mm typical) |
| Draw direction | Casting, molding |
| Symmetry plane | Balanced loads, aesthetics |
| Overhang angle | Additive manufacturing |
What to Ask User
Critical:
- Design space: "What is the bounding volume where material can exist?"
- Frozen regions: "Which areas must remain solid? (BC/load attachment)"
- Volume fraction: "What percentage of material should remain? (20-50%)"
- Loads and BCs: "What loads and supports act on the structure?"
With Defaults:
- Objective: Min compliance (change if stress/frequency is primary)
- Min member size: 3mm (adjust for manufacturing)
- Material: Steel (if not specified)
- Max iterations: 50 (increase if not converging)
- SIMP penalty: 3.0 (higher for sharper boundaries)
Validation
| Stage | Check |
|---|---|
| Base model | Static analysis runs, results sensible |
| After iteration 5 | Objective decreasing, no disconnection |
| Convergence | Objective stable (< 0.1% change) |
| Final design | Load path intact, no floating regions |
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Checkerboard pattern | Add min member size constraint |
| Not converging | Relax volume fraction, check frozen regions |
| Disconnected regions | Add more frozen regions along load path |
| Takes forever | Coarsen mesh, reduce iterations |
| License error | Requires full Abaqus with Tosca |
