Optimizing Support Locations
摘要
Structural topologyStructuraltopology optimization is usually performed with predetermined support conditionsSupportcondition. In this chapter, we present a general method for optimizing support locations and show how it can be integrated with topology optimizationTopology optimization. By allowing the optimizer to simultaneously determine support locations and structural topology, we unlock new opportunities to enhance structural performanceStructuralperformance and achieve innovative and efficient designs.
