Topology Optimisation

[Anonymous]

Not really sure if this is the right forum to post this, but what is the algorithm used for the topology optimisation in the simulation section on Fusion 360? I've been using it for a uni project and need to be able to explain it.

It is Level Set method with additional filtering according to the manufacturing intent. Check e.g. https://www.autodesk.com/autodesk-university/class/Introduction-Generative-Design-2018#handout or https://mae.ufl.edu/mdo/Papers/4873.pdf

If you mean the topology optimization in the regular sim environment, it is a SIMP implementation build on Nastran.

If you mean the generative design solver, it is level-set as previously stated.
