Topology Optimization (SIMP)
Density-based structural optimization: distribute a fixed volume to minimise compliance.
This tool runs inside GDBS HPC. What it computes and the authorities it applies are below.
What it is
Density-based structural optimization: distribute a fixed volume to minimise compliance.
Honest scope
Deterministic and citation-backed: every figure is exact arithmetic or a cited rule. Any year- or jurisdiction-indexed value is a confirmable input, never an eternal hardcode. This is a computation tool, not professional (legal, tax, medical, or financial) advice - confirm against the controlling authority for your context.
