why can’t I get Shape Optimization (BETA) to solve using either a Mechanical Pro or Premium license?.

      Prior to 17.0, Shape Optimization (BETA) was supported by most Mechanical licenses. As it uses legacy element types such as SOLID95, beginning with Releaser 17.0 it is not supported by a Mechanical Pro or Mechanical Premium license. It does work with a DesignSpace license or Mechanical Enterprise. Switching to Topology Optimization is the recommendation.
