Abstract A hybrid cellular automaton model combined with a finite element method for thermal topology optimization of spindle structure is developed. The
higher order 8-node element and von Neumann strategy are employed for the finite element and the cellular element, respectively. The local
sensitivity filtering algorithm and the weight approach are applied. The four validating studies of two-dimensional structure for thermal topology
optimization are carried out. The structure evolution and thermal distribution evolution of thermal topology optimization are investigated. The results
show the developed hybrid method is more efficient for thermal topology optimization. Meanwhile, the thermal More >
