Abstract

The main objective of Topology Optimization is optimal distribution of material in a given design space sustaining the applied load under given limiting conditions. It is a widely used design tool. It covers various fields like machine designing, aerospace, nano-optics, architecture, fluids, thermofluids, civil, frequency analysis etc. In this paper, the important role played by the topology optimization in different areas is discussed and focus is given on industrial, defence, space, and fusion application. This paper also gives insight about different types of advanced algorithmic methods used in topology optimization.
