Concerning the topology optimisation of a submodel, I have two questions.

1) Is it possible to run such a problem via Abaqus/CAE? The submodel can be set up quite nice and easily in such a way. For running a topology topimisation on this submodel, I haven't found a way to specify such an option. The only way I have figured out so far was the direct specification inside the DRIVER block of the *.par file.

2) When specifying the global model in the *.par file path and name of the ODB file are required. Here, the limit of 80 characters apply. With the complex folder system I have, this is not possible and I have to move the ODB file to C:\Scratch. Is there a way to include the global model without the need for moving it?
