Topology Optimization of Building Structures Considering Wind Loading

Abstract:

The latest developments in structural topological optimization have been integrated with CFD for the optimization of building structures considering wind loading. Wind loads on a building are numerically simulated in ANSYS CFX and then transferred to ANSYS Static to get the structural response of the building in wind. The bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) algorithm has been applied to buildings for an automatic structural topological optimization considering wind loading. The proposed approach is demonstrated by examples of the optimum structural design of exterior bracing system of a high-rise building.
