Hey! Thanks - I must admit that Manuel is a brave guy... I hate doing live demos, for whatever reason something always comes up :P I love your channel BTW mate - awesome work on those videos!
Means a lot to me that you stopped by. I'm a patreon for a while now and guys, if you ever wondered how to make proper visualization - check this channel ... It's amazing!
Your enthusiasm in the live demo made it even more interesting... I loved watching two PhDs, trying to interpret the 'rebellious' results coz of one element
This was a great example of expendable material sacrifice. If they had enlarged Lukasz' clump (e.g. from 1 large quad to 4 large quads), then it might have biased the optimization to prefer taking a load-path detour along his clump.
@@Enterfea I was just about to send you an assignment I’m doing for my first FEA class where I wrote a 2D linear elasticity h-adaptive solver in Matlab... then I realized it was in greek! I have your videos playing in the background while I complete it (or maybe the other way around 😄). Cheers!
Topology optimization is of course not limited to structural mechanics, other physics can also be topology optimized if you can establish an interpolation scheme.
Thanks for pointing this out - to be honest I don't know how this works in that soft, but I know that if you do a demo live... things "just happen" from time to time ;)
Hi Manuel, can you recommend a good book for very beginner to learn topology optimization? Great theory with many examples would be great. My background is Civil engineering and I don't mind to do the coding to learn this.
Hi there, well the basics are very well covered in the Topology Optimization Book by O. Sigmund (www.springer.com/de/book/9783540429920). I know a few more German books but as I assume you're looking for something in English I would like to forward you to the Journal: Structrual and Multidisciplinary Optimization (www.springer.com/journal/158). This would be cutting edge literature - so you're getting the latest developments in this fields. For a practical approach I can very much recommend the student books written by altair. They are good and free. And if you want to jump straight into programming - you can start with the 99 line matlab code for topology optimization. Hope this helps and best regards.
Really interesting discussion and demo, thanks both! Was fun to watch the problem solving to get the structure to include the element Lukasz selected!

Your enthusiasm makes this video very enjoyable to watch. As a researcher, there is nothing more satisfying than someone who admires your work.
Thank you Brandon! I really appreciate your kind words :)

Mechanical engineer undergraduate here. I found this video great! Topology optimization is such a cool area.
Hey Chris! Thank you for the comment - I'm so glad that you like this :)
Indeed topology optimization is fun!
All the best!

@@Az90981 Congratulations on the assignment Man! Good work :) I don't read greek at all... but at least I know most of the Greek letters :P
@@Enterfea That's a start
Thanks for sharing this Lukasz...really interesting topic and insightful discussion.
Thank you Vishak! I'm really glad that you like it ;)
That logo animation using topology optimization was such a good idea.
Ha! I'm really glad that you liked it :)
@@Enterfeahi, thank for your video, can I have your email address please?
Very cool topic and very cool guest!
Indeed :) Thank you for the comment @Sharan!
Thanks! It was awesome.
Thank you Arjun! I'm glad that you like it :)
Really amazing topic to go with. Can we get the Power point presentation slides.....
very interesting!
Thank you!

Thanks for the comment Rene - Much appreciated :)
50:00 you should have used multiple load cases... You can have one load case whit the force down and another with the force up.

As you can imagine, I can't really help you out here - but I'm sure Manuel will join us soon :)

For the question at 29:00 check out Rafinex. They do stochastic top opt.
Thanks for the insight Rene!
