AIAA-2000-4946 AN INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR TOPOLOGY, SIZING AND SHAPE OPTIMIZATION M. Zhou, N. Pagaldipti, H.L. Thomas and Y.K. Shyy Altair Engineering, Inc. 2445 MacCabe Way, Suite 100, Irvine CA92614 zhou@ Abstract OptiStruct[4] also appeared in this fast growing field. In Topology optimization has become very popular in general, specialized optimization codes, although industrial applications and most FEM codes have equipped with less analysis capabilities than general implemented certain capabilities of topology FEM codes, offer more features and higher efficiency optimization. However, most codes do not allow for optimization. The reasons for this are two fold: (1) simultaneous treatment of sizing and shape highly specialized codes are typically smaller and optimization during topology optimization phase. This therefore more flexible for incorporating the latest poses a limitation on the design space and therefore developments than general codes; (2) for specialized prevents finding possible better designs since the codes, highest priority is devoted to its core technology interaction of sizing and shape variables with topology of optimization. modification is excluded. In this paper, an integrated approach is
