Settings for the General Sensitivity-Based Optimization

There are different settings available to control the speed and convergence behavior of the topology optimization algorithms. This section discusses some settings concerning general sensitivity-based optimization.

• Mode Tracking
• Initial Values of Density (DENSITY_INITIAL)
• Removing Soft Elements for Increasing Performance (SOFT_DELETE)
• Limits for Design Variables and Changes
• Update Strategy of the Convex Separable Approximations
• Settings of the Mesh Filter
• Filter Settings
• Material Interpolation
