Settings for the General Sensitivity-Based Optimization

There are different settings available to control 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 Method of Moving Asymptotes
Settings of the Mesh Filter
FILTER_TYPE
Material Interpolation
