iBESO [1] is a digital design tool that can generate innovative, lightweight, and efficient 2D structural designs. It is developed based on the interactive topology optimization method considering subjective preferences, SP-BESO [2]. This technique allows designers to iteratively explore desired designs by alternately inputting quantified subjective preferences and performing topology optimization.
iBESO can simultaneously perform up to four 2D topology optimization programs based on the SP-BESO method. The four generated designs can be parallel evaluated and further modified based on subjective preferences (scoring and drawing), resulting in new designs through subsequent topology optimization. Controlling design parameters of iBESO is able to balance subjective preferences and structural performance according to design requirements. Finally, repeatedly running iBESO results in desired structural designs.
