Topology Optimization Using FreeCAD and a Python Marco

Topology optimization using a python macro was described in this video. This video is helpful to learn how to run a finite element model and macro on FreeCAD. The optimization method is based on the Bidirectional Evolutionary Structural Optimization method (BESO) in the following study: Löffelmann, F. "Failure Index Based Topology Optimization for Multiple Properties." Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Engineering Mechanics, Svratka, Czech Republic. 2017. ➜ https://www.engmech.cz/improc/2017/05...
