Abstract This paper aims to demonstrate the final result of an optimization process when a smooth technique is introduced between intermediary iterations of a topological optimization. In a topological optimization process is usual irregular boundary results as the final shape. This boundary irregularity occurs when the way of the material is removed is not very suitable. Avoiding an optimization post-processing procedure some techniques of smooth are implemented in the original optimization code. In order to attain a regular boundary a smoothness technique is employed, which is, Bezier curves. An algorithm was also developed to detect during the optimization process which curve… More >
