Cellular Automaton Mimicking Colliding Bodies for Topology Optimization.

ABSTRACT: Needs and demands of contemporary engineering stimulate continuous and intensive development of design methods. Topology optimization is a modern approach which has been successfully implemented in a daily engineering design practice. Decades of progress resulted in numerous applications of topology optimization to many research and engineering fields. Since the design process starts already at the conceptual stage, innovative, efficient, and versatile topology algorithms play a crucial role. In the present study, the concept of the original heuristic topology generator is proposed. The main idea that stands behind this proposal is to take advantage of the colliding bodies phenomenon and to use the governing laws to derive original Cellular Automata rules which can efficiently perform the
