Abstract

Topology optimization is a design method based on mathematical programming, to seek an optimum distribution of material, greatly shortened product conceptual design cycle. With the help of variable-density method, topology optimization was carried out for heavy-duty truck frame based on Hyper Works platform. The way not only satisfied with the design requirements, but also provides reference for the new product design. It provides an important technical message for conceptual design.
