Intro To Exercises

This document introduces computer exercises for a course on topology optimization theory and methods. It outlines the schedule and content of exercises to be completed over the course period using MATLAB codes. Students will perform basic exercises to become familiar with codes, as well as more advanced exercises involving mathematical programming techniques and multi-objective and dynamic optimization problems. The document also provides information on codes that can be used, optimization methods, filter types, optimality criteria, and practical guidance for completing the exercises.

MATLAB CODES
Exercises based on the 99-line code written
by Ole Sigmund:
CODE CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM

ALTERNATIVE 88-LINE CODE
(for experienced FE/Matlab people)
Usage:
Filter type
9 DTU Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark
Jakob Sndergaard Jensen
88- VERSUS 99-LINE CODE
Pros and cons of using 88-line version:
Dramatically faster for large problems (speed quick-fix
for 99-line code will be provided)
Access to a density filter in addition to the sensitivity
filter
More difficult to read
More difficult to modify
10 DTU Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark

99-LINE CODE SPEED QUICK-FIX
Main problem: assembly of sparse matrix

OTHER EXTENSIONS

Jakob Sndergaard Jensen
FILTERS
99-line code: sensitivity filter
88-line code: sensitivity filter (ft=1)
density filter (ft=2)
Sensitivity filter:
spatial smoothing of sensitivities to avoid checkerboards
and mesh dependency - mathematically inconsistent but
works well in practice
Density filter:
spatial smoothing of design variables + consistent update
of sensitivities

Jakob Sndergaard Jensen
FILTERS
Implementation of sensitivity filter in 99-line code:
14 DTU Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark
Jakob Sndergaard Jensen
OPTIMALITY CRITERION
Heuristic design updates:
Design sensitivities:
Adjusted until volume
constraint fulfilled
15 DTU Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark
Jakob Sndergaard Jensen
OPTIMALITY CRITERIA
Implementation:

PRACTICALITIES
Form groups of two by the computers
Get to know people ! (hook up with somebody you do
not know already and preferably someone with a
different background)
Get User IDs and passwords from me (non-DTU students)
17 DTU Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark
Jakob Sndergaard Jensen
COFFEE CARDS
Coffee cards will be handed out together with User IDs
and passwords
Prepaid 100 DKR = 25 cups of coffee, espresso,
cappucino, tea, etc.
IMPORTANT: return coffee cards at the end of course
exercises
coffee
Door closes at 10pm on weekdays
Open 7am-5pm in the weekend
