EN definition
Topology optimization is a mathematical method that optimizes material layout within a given design space, for a given set of loads, boundary conditions and constraints with the goal of maximizing the performance of the system. (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
EN note
TopOpt A form of structural optimisation which starts with a volume, loads and supports and erodes down to find the minimum material layout
French label
