FE Mesh, Material, Responses, Constraints, Integer, Scalar Field

Perform topology optimization on a single solid body. An FE Mesh and isotropic material is all that is needed to define the model. Any of the available responses and constraints can be applied.

Inputs

NameTypeDescription
Design spaceFE MeshThe input design space as an fe mesh. the mesh should only consist of solid elements.
MaterialMaterialThe isotropic material for the design space.
ResponsesDesign Response ListThe list of design responses to minimize. if more than one response is supplied, the sum of the responses will be used as the objective function value.
ConstraintsDesign Constraint ListThe list of constraints for the topology optimization to satisfy.
Max iterationsIntegerThe maximum number of iterations allowed for the optimization algorithm.
Filter boundaryScalar FieldThis option controls how the density filter behaves near the boundary of the design space. if 0, no penalization is enforced on the boundary. if 1, material will be completely restricted to the boundary where no loads or constraints have been applied.
