Density-based topology optimization with the Null Space Optimizer: a tutorial and a comparison
Florian Feppon
Abstract:The Null Space Optimizer is a constrained optimization solver that has been developed in the context of level-set based Topology Optimization. One of its appealing aspects comes from its relative independence to the need for tuning unintuitive algorithm parameters. The first contribution of this paper is to introduce an upgrade of the Null Space Optimizer that enables to solve optimization problems featuring a large number of constraints with sparse Jacobian matrix. This allows to include in particular bound c… Show more
