The code adopts the Received 13 December 2014 Abaqus Scripting Interface that provides convenient access to advanced finite element analysis (FEA). Accepted 11 February 2015 It is developed for the compliance minimization with a volume constraint using the Bi-directional Evo- Available online 4 March 2015 lutionary Structural Optimization (BESO) method. The source code is composed of a main program con- trolling the iterative procedure and five independent functions realizing input model preparation, FEA, Keywords: mesh-independent filter and BESO algorithm. The code reads the initial design from a model database Topology optimization (.cae file) that can be of arbitrary 3D geometries generated in Abaqus/CAE or converted from various BESO widely used CAD modelling packages.
