Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the related technical field of multi-component topology optimization design, and more specifically relates to a multi-component layout topology optimization method based on parameterized color level set. Background technique [0002] In many engineering structure designs nowadays, it is usually necessary to embed one or more geometric bodies with a fixed shape into the fixed structure to meet the specific functions required. The embedded object can be a component with a certain function or a certain bearing capacity. The functional structural components can also be the preset space reserved for equipping other equipment components. For example, in aerospace engineering, some equipment with certain functions are often embedded in the main structure, usually for lightweight design. These devices can also be used as load-bearing structures, so multi-component layout refers to the position and orientation of multiple components, ra...

Among them, in the multi-component layout optimization based on the SIMP method, since each update of the component design variables will be reversely substituted into the multi-component expression and re-initialized, it can ensure that the shape of each iteration component remains unchanged, although this method is relatively simple and easy to calculate , but most of the optimization results obtained under this framework are gray-scale images, which are prone to checkerboard and gray-scale units. artificial refactoring to achieve

[0004] Among them, the parametric color level set method has its unique advantages. Under this framework, smooth and clear boundary shapes can be obtained, topology and shape optimization can be performed at the same time, and geometric dimensions and manufacturing constraints can be well understood. However, the level set method There are many design variables, and the optimization convergence speed is slow. If the matrix and multiple components are interpolated using radial basis functions, the dynamically changing structural boundaries of the two are implicitly embedded in the Lipschitz continuous level set function to perform shape and Topology optimization, which will greatly increase the calculation time, reduce the calculation efficiency, and the component shape is easy to change
