Abstract: 
The method of topological optimization is based on a mathematical algorithm, which is based on the distribution and intensity of detail stress on the investigated component. It was developed using the Rhino-Grasshopper theory. This is a complicated FEM analysis with the help of the Nastran solver in the Siemens NX software environment. The topology detail is controlled by the degree of iteration of the algorithm, changing the size and distribution of the elements in relation to the incoming force stresses of the FEM simulation. The goal of topological optimization is a clearly defined shape of the component for a given design solution.
