What is Topology Optimization? Topology optimization (TO or TopOpt) is a methodology for determining an object's optimal design to achieve a specific goal, given a set of constraints, loads, and boundary …

With a Topology Optimization analysis, you can compute an optimal structural design for a selected region of your model with specific design goals and constraints.

MMA is a nonlinear programming algorithm that approximates a solution for a Topology Optimization problem by solving a sequence of convex and separable subproblems.
