We perform three case studies corresponding to those in the manuscript:

  • linear and nonlinear cantilever beam topology optimization for compliance minimization;

  • battery pack optimizations for compliance minimization and mass minimization under constraints;

  • a liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) topology optimization for shape matching.

We perform these case study to demonstrate the capability of ATOMiCS:

  1. easily changeable PDE and solvers, dealing with nonlinear problems (case I);

  2. multiphysics approach, binding with GMSH and handling unstructured mesh, changeable constraints and objectives (case II);

  3. topology optimization for shape matching of smart material, 3D problem, adding other OpenMDAO components and design variables other than densities (case III).

For features that are not documented or cannot be discribed in detail in the above three case studies, we present other examples including

  • a L-shape beam topology optimizaiton using external mesh (GMSH);

  • cantilever beam topology optimization using FEniCS variational filter
