Stress-based Topology Optimization Method and Tool

摘要

A method (10) for performing stress-based topology optimization of a structure (2, 102, 202) on a computational device (302) is provided. Upon receiving a problem definition of the structure (2, 102, 202) from an input device (304) coupled to an input of the computational device (302), the method (10) may generate a density filter, interpolation schemes for stiffness, volume and stress, a global stress measure, an adaptive normalization scheme and a regional stress measure, to determine an optimized stress-based solution to the problem defined. The method (10) may further enable the optimized solution to be rendered for display at an output device (306) coupled to an output of the computational device (302).
