Influence of Density-Based Topology Optimization Parameters on the Design of Periodic Cellular Materials.

ABSTRACT: The density based topology optimization procedure represented by the SIMP (Solid isotropic material with penalization) method is the most common technique to solve material distribution optimization problems. It depends on several parameters for the solution, which in general are defined arbitrarily or based on the literature. In this work the influence of the optimization parameters applied to the design of periodic cellular materials were studied. Different filtering schemes, penalization factors, initial guesses, mesh sizes, and optimization solvers were tested. In the obtained results, it was observed that using the Method of Moving Asymptotes (MMA) can be achieved feasible convergent solutions for a large amount of parameters combinations, in comparison, to the global convergent metho
