Stress-based topology optimization with discrete geometric components

In this paper, we introduce a framework for the stress-based topology optimization of structures made by the assembly of discrete geometric components, such as bars and plates, that are described by explicit geometry representations. To circumvent re-meshing upon design changes, we employ the geomet...
