Topology optimization of an MBB-beam with continuously varying density
The video shows the material and void regions together with the continuous density distribution within the material region at each time step of the optimization routine for a three-point bending problem (a.k.a. MBB-beam problem). We can observe how the black-and-white solution converges much faster to a stable configuration while more iterations are needed to optimally re-distribute the density within the material (black) areas
