Abstract

The Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimisation (BESO) method had been used by many authors for the optimisation of structures. This work sets out to investigate the effect of key optimisation parameters utilized in the BESO method, the evolution rate and the filter radius, on the outcome of the optimisation. An understanding of the interaction of these factors in the optimisation process enables a more efficient way to produce optimised components that can fully capitalise on the capabilities of additive manufacturing.
