TOPOLOGICAL OPTIMIZATION – EXPERIENCE OF MASTERING AND PRACTICAL APPLICATION

The article discusses the experience of mastering the topological optimization technology and its practical application using the examples of developing various structural elements and objects both in mechanical engineering and metalworking and in other areas: in industrial design when creating the so-called bionic/organic forms of objects; in reconstructive and regenerative medicine when designing and reproducing implants of various prosthetic organs or organs to be regenerated. Also, the distinctive features of implementing the topological optimization technology in various CAD/CAE packages are considered.
