摘要：

Topology Optimization (TO) is used to develop high strength, yet lightweight structural components. The geometry reconstruction from raw optimization results is a crucial task and especially challenging to do considering product development’s demand on parametrics. In this paper a new automated approach for computational reconstruction is presented that uses the Medial Axis for abstraction and inclusion of parametrics and features in the reconstruction. The presented method is both highly automated and at the same time offers optional geometry editing within the reconstruction itself. The steps of the method are (1) analysis of the TO result by the Voronoi computed Medial Axis Transform, (2) processing of the Medial Axis Transform into a decomposition, and (3) redesign thereon. Directly usable files of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) are generated. The concept is presented at real world case studies with focus on non-beam-like, structural components. © 2023 CAD Solutions, LLC,.
