Question

Which of the following statements are true regarding the SIMP method, as described by Prof. Matusik?

Select all that apply.

a) The algorithm always assigns density values of 0 or 1 to elements as it refines the material distribution

b) The algorithm derives the material distribution that results in minimum compliance for a mass (area) target.

c) 3D implementations of the algorithm can be used to derive compliant gripper designs.

d) The amount of time it takes to reach a final solution is independent of the number of elements used in the model.

Answer 1

As per SIMP method..density values of elements are 0 or 1 and distribution results in minimum compliance and maximum stiffness and 3D implementations also used for designs...so a,b,c are correct
