A complementary follow-on tool is required to optimize the geometric parameters of the topology solutions once the flexure design topology of an active micro-architected material has been synthesized. This will enable the production of final designs that not only meet the desired DOFs for the constituent materials but also best meet the desired performance requirements. This paper introduces a computational tool to identify the boundaries of the performance capabilities achieved by general flexure system topologies, provided that their geometric parameters are allowed to vary from their smallest allowable feature sizes to their largest geometrically compatible feature sizes for given constituent materials. The boundaries fully define flexure systems' design spaces and allow designers to visually identify which geometric versions of their synthesized topologies best achieve desired combinations of performance capabilities.
