TOPslicer

GRANDgeo v1.0

GRANDgeo is an educational MATLAB code implementing the discontinuity layout optimization method (DLO) for geotechnical limit state analysis. The novelty of it being the capability of handling unstructured meshes of the domain, with multiple soil layers of different properties, and also ground water. In addition, a novel formulation that automatically determines the safety factor is implemented.

TOPslicer

TOPslicer v0.8.4

TOPslicer is a simple MATLAB graphical tool to slice three–dimensional density–based topology optimization data. In addition, the user can change the isosurface cutoff value and evaluate the change on the fly. For problems where symmetry was exploited, TOPslicer can mirror the results in one or more coordinate axis to recover the complete model. Finally, once the cutoff and symmetry conditions have been applied, and the solution is deemed acceptable from inspection, the isosurface can be exported to X3D and/or STL.

Grand3

GRAND3 v1.0

GRAND3 — GRound structure Analysis and Design in 3D is an extension of the previous 2D educational MATLAB code for structural topology optimization with discrete elements using the ground structure approach. Domains can be concave and with the possibility of holes. Concavities and holes are handled by defining collision zones (or hitboxes). Both, the domain and the collision zones are procedurally generated, thus allowing for simplicity and flexibility in the analysis.
