Abstract
A multi-domain and multi-step topology optimization approach is presented in this paper, which can be used to simplify the architecture/topological structure of an “optimum” structure obtained from the topology optimization process, and thus significantly improves the manufacturability of the final design. Examples will be given to illustrate how this approach can be applied to a realistic engineering design problem for developing lightweight and high-performance structures in next-generation ground vehicles.
