Since Additive Manufacturing (am) Techniques Allow The Manufacture Of Complex-shaped Structures The Combination Of Lightweight Construction, Topology Optimization, And Am Is Of Significant Interest. Besides The Established Continuum Topology Optimization Methods, Less Attention Is Paid To Algorithm-driven Optimization Based On Linear Optimization, Which Can Also Be Used For Topology Optimization Of Truss-like Structures.to Overcome This Shortcoming, We Combined Linear Optimization, Computer-aided Design (cad), Numerical Shape Optimization, And Numerical Simulation Into An Algorithm-driven Product Design Process For Additively Manufactured Truss-like Structures. With Our Ansys Spaceclaim Add-in Constructor, Which Is Capable Of Obtaining Ready-for-machine-interpretation Cad Data Of Truss-like Structures Out Of Raw Mathematical Optimization Data, The High Performance Of (heuristic-based) Optimization Algorithms Implemented In Linear Programming Software Is Now Available To The Cad Community.
