TopIE

This directory contains the TopIE code for integral-equation-based topology optimization

---

Description

TopIE.m is the main file you must run to start the code.

All user-settable quantities, e.g. current density, frequency, TOBS settings are contained in the block identified by the BEGIN USER SETTINGS / END USER SETTINGS comments.

Available test cases

Some simple test cases are contained in separate directories under "test_cases". Set the "test_case_dir" variables in "TopIE.m" to the appropriate directories.

User-defined test cases

Follow the instuctions given in "README.txt" inside the "test_cases" directory.

Results visualization

The convergence trend and the topology during algorithm iterations are plotted.
