TOPLSM, A simple 199-line matlab code for structural optimization using level set methods
 

Discription:

TOPLSM is a simple MATLAB code to implement structural optimization with level set methods. Our aim with this code is simplicity, so that everyone can understand the code and modify it according to their needs. And we also hope it  to help people understand the fundamental issues in topology optimization with classical level set methods.

To use the code, simply download it from above link and run it in MATLAB. For a quick demonstration, type "TOPLSM(2, 1, 80, 40,100,  1, 1, 3, 100)". For conveniences, you can use the GUI.

If you have any problem or suggestion on the code, please feel free to contact us!
