Topological Optimization of Continuum Structure based on ANSYS

Abstract

Topology optimization is at the phase of structural concept design and the result of it is foundation for succeeding design, therefore, structural topology optimization is more important to engineering design. in this thesis, in order to seek the optimal structure shape of the winch’s mounting bracket of ROV simulator, topology optimization design of it by finite element analysis software ANSYS was carried out. the results show that the topology optimization method is an effective optimization method and indicate that the method is correct and effective, it has a certain engineering application prospect.
