This document provides steps to perform a topology optimization of a bicycle crank arm considering loads in different directions. The objectives are to reduce the material costs and volume of the crank arm by 20% while supporting loads applied in the x and y-axes. The tutorial walks through importing a CAD file of the crank arm, meshing it, applying boundary conditions to fix one end and loads of 100N in x and 50N in y directions, performing two subcases for the individual load directions, setting a 20% volume reduction target, and optimizing the design. The results are then analyzed considering the individual load directions and a sequential case.

Chapter 2 Bicycle Crank Arm
The direction of the load acting on the crank pedal of a bicycle changes with time. What is the optimal design considering the material costs of the arm? Target Volume Reduction: 20% 00 Rotational Position Rotational Position Load Direction Two kinds of loads are applied at the same time. What is the optimal design for the load acting on different positions of the crank arm? What are the material costs associated with each of those designs?
