This is a Python program developed in December 2016 for the 2D topology optimization design of mean compliance minimum problem.
It is based on a parameterized level set method using radial basis functions, which is proposed in the following paper:
Wei, P., Li, Z., Li, X., & Wang, M. Y. (2018). An 88-line MATLAB Code for the Parameterized Level Set Method Based Topology Optimization Using Radial Basis Functions. Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, 58(2), 831-849
This script needs to be run in SiPESC, a CAE software developed by Dalian University of Technology. Install SiPESC, run this script, and select your cdb file exported by ANSYS, then you can finally obtain an optimized structural topology, such as follows:
