Multi-component layout design with coupled shape and topology optimization

A Coupled Shape and Topology Optimization (CSTO) method is proposed here to deal with the layout design of the multi-component system. Considering a complex packing system for which several components will be placed in a container of specific shape, the aim of the design procedure is to find the...
