Abstract :
In this paper a new topology optimization feature of a module generator environment is presented. The optimization is performed by removing redundant elements of objects already placed and by assessing different layout topologies of a module. This drastically reduces the length of the generator source code, because different topologies need no separate source code, but result automatically
