Shape optimization with a level set based mesh evolution method
نویسندگان
چکیده
We intend to propose a framework to handle the problem of mesh deformation in the context of shape optimization. The main idea is to combine the level set method with meshing tools specialized to deal with implicitly-defined geometries. The proposed method is then as well a topology optimization as a geometric optimization method.

A Mesh Evolution Algorithm Based on the Level Set Method for Geometry and Topology Optimization
We propose an approach for structural optimization which combines the flexibility of the level set method for handling large deformations and topology changes with the accurate description of the geometry provided by an exact mesh of the shape. The key ingredients of our method are efficient algorithms for (i) moving a level set function on an unstructured mesh, (ii) remeshing the surface corre...
متن کاملTOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF PLANE STRUCTURES USING BINARY LEVEL SET METHOD AND ISOGEOMETRIC ANALYSIS
This paper presents the topology optimization of plane structures using a binary level set (BLS) approach and isogeometric analysis (IGA). In the standard level set method, the domain boundary is descripted as an isocountour of a scalar function of a higher dimensionality. The evolution of this boundary is governed by Hamilton–Jacobi equation. In the BLS method, the interfaces of subdomai...

متن کاملShape optimization of elastic structures using a level-set based mesh evolution method
We propose a method for structural optimization that combines two different ways of depicting shapes : the considered domain is exactly meshed at each iteration when it comes to performing shape or topological sensitivity analysis of the considered cost functional (which often requires one or several finite element computations), while we resort to a level-set description of the domain for desc...
متن کاملA new algorithm for topology optimization using a level-set method
The level-set method has been recently introduced in the field of shape optimization, enabling a smooth representation of the boundaries on a fixed mesh and therefore leading to fast numerical algorithms. However, most of these algorithms use a Hamilton-Jacobi equation to connect the evolution of the level-set function with the deformation of the contours, and consequently they can hardly creat...
