OpenLSTO Version 1.0 Release

Open Source Code for Level Set Topology Optimization

This first full release implements the M2DO lab’s level set topology optimization method to solve the problems of minimizing compliance (maximizing stiffness) under a volume constraint and minimizing stress under a volume constraint in 2D and 3D design domains. A hole nucleation algorithm for the compliance problem is also included. While OpenLSTO has been designed with ease of installation and use in mind, some third-party packages have been used in order for the code to be able to handle more complex problems.
