Manipulation of topologically optimized structures using graphic statics

A combined topology optimization-graphic static approach is presented in this paper for manipulation and generation of equilibrium lightweight structures. Topology optimization is an effective tool for designing lightweight structures and truss-based designs. Graphic statics is also a powerful platf...
