Abstract
This paper presents a 100-line Python code for general 3D topology optimization. The code adopts the Abaqus Scripting Interface that provides convenient access to advanced finite element analysis (FEA). It is developed for the compliance minimization with a volume constraint using the Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimization (BESO) method. The source code is composed of a main program controlling the iterative procedure and five...
