  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION WITH A PLURALITY OF MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20150103698
    Abstract: A method for producing a design topology is provided. The method includes entering a problem constraint into a computer, wherein the problem constraint includes a domain, a load vector, an objective function, and a plurality of types of materials. The domain is divided into a plurality of elements, wherein individual elements are associated with one type of material such that each of the plurality of types of materials is associated with more than one element. A element variable is calculated for the element, and the computer determines if the calculations are complete. If the calculations are not complete, the step of calculating the element variable for the elements is repeated. If the calculations are complete, the design topology is output.
