Problems solved by technology

In addition, the progressive evolution method has the advantages of simple algorithm and easy connection with the finite element analysis program. The finite element model of the final optimization result has only 0 / 1 units; the optimization result obtained by the level set method has a smooth geometric boundary. Because the penalty function has no clear physical meaning, when the optimization problem is related to both stiffness and mass, it will seriously affect the stability of the optimization algorithm
