IbIPP for topology optimization—An Image-based Initialization and Post-Processing code written in MATLAB

This work presents a framework to initialize structural problems for 2D topology optimization while offering capabilities to post-process the optimized results into STL models that can be produced directly by additive manufacturing technologies. Conveniently named Image-based Initialization and Post...
