Aims and Scope

The goal of this workshop is to bring together scientists from numerical analysis, geometric modeling and engineering who are interested in topology optimization and isogeometric analysis. We aim at connecting the two fields by developing an isogeometric modeling framework that is well-suited for topology optimization, i.e., that allows for general topologies and that can handle changes in the topology in a robust and efficient way. On the other hand, we study topology optimization technologies that are suitable for B-spline and NURBS based geometry discretizations. The topics of the talks range from topology optimization in practical applications, topological derivatives, level set and density-based methods, to geometric modeling of topologically complex shapes, geometry segmentation and parametrization methods and unstructured splines spaces.
