    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.
