Abstract
The paper presents a topological optimization method based on the function “Birth and death of an element” in ANSYS Mechanical APDL. To confirm the adequacy of the considered method, models were tested. The optimization results using the developed method were compared with the optimization results using the “Topology Optimization” module, which is the part of the ANSYS Workbench, where the boundary conditions were identical. The test showed a good agreement between the optimization results by the proposed method and the optimization in the ANSYS Workbench module “Topology Optimization”.
