Abstract: Topology optimization (TO) has come to the fore with the development of 3D printing. The most commonly used method is SIMP, a density-based approach, which outputs a per-element constant density field and thus requires post-processing to obtain the shape. Conventional post-processing methods extract optimized topologies in the form of brep models. It yields only C0 continuous geometries, which are usually not suitable for downstream applications such as prototyping, design validation, and design exploration. In this paper, we present a new post-processing method based on the level set principle that overcomes common post-processing issues, such as the lack of smoothness.
Keywords: level-set; post-processing; signed distance function; topology optimization
