LevelOpt - New Topology Optimization Tool for Rhino and Grasshopper



Cutting-edge Level set optimization meets the flexibility of Grasshopper with FEA Simulation in the loop!

LevelOpt is a topology optimization tool that allows Rhino Grasshopper users to generate high-performance concepts quickly with automated topology optimization. 

A User-Driven custom optimization option gives users the power to interject design changes, incorporate starting designs, and fine-tune settings at any stage. Rhino users automatically get access to LevelOpt with the latest version of Intact.Simulation for Rhino Grasshopper.

There is No Preprocessing, No Model Simplifications, No Filtering, and No Postprocessing with LevelOpt and Intact.Simulation for Rhino Grasshopper!

Features
  • Optimization for Compliance: Maximize stiffness for a specified weight target.
  • Supports Both Isotropic and Orthotropic Materials
  • Component-Level Flexibility: Optimize individual components or maintain interface connectivity in assemblies.
  • Functional Region Preservation: Ensure critical zones remain intact during optimization.
  • Custom Optimization:
    • Interjecting design changes
    • Incorporating starting designs, and fine-tuning settings at any stage
    • Freedom to adaptively adjust feature sizes, wall thicknesses, and preserved functional regions as optimization progresses
