objective function : optimization combining results from 2 study steps

Hello everyone,

For my topology optimization, I have an objective function which depends on the results of two study steps (Stationary & Eigenfrequency from solid mechanics).

I need to do both studies in order to evaluate my objective function. My objective function can be computed using an Evaluation Group in post-processing (using a combined dataset from the two studies), but I was wondering if it was possible to use the same expression in topology optimization, and also how to implement this in the optimization?

In other words, how to define an objective function for optimization, that depends on the results of 2 study steps?

Kind regards,
