Shape and Topology Optimization Powered by MFEM - Workshop 2022

Explore shape and topology optimization techniques powered by MFEM in this 21-minute conference talk from the MFEM Workshop 2022. Dive into the Livermore Design Optimization (LiDO) code, which solves optimization problems for various engineering applications at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Learn how LiDO integrates with MFEM and the Serac engineering simulation code to provide powerful design tools for high-performance computing systems. Discover practical design examples showcasing LiDO's capabilities, including multi-material geometries, octet truss lattices, and stress analysis of concrete dams. Gain insights into LiDO's graph architecture and its seamless integration with MFEM features, enabling robust topology optimization and shape optimization using nodal coordinates and level set fields as optimization variables.
