Dear Colleagues,
I am looking for any ideas, e.g., Structural Topology Optimization for determining load path for crash simulations. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Hello Ren-Jye,
Have you looked at LS-Dyna/LS-Opt to do that?

Hi Ren-Jye,
One of my doctoral students and I are working on a related topic. We have not done any topology optimization for alternate load paths yet. We are still in the stage of investigating how to identify these alternate load paths and correlate the nature of these alternate load paths to damage tolerance and failure predictability. We found there is some work from the civil engineering community designing frame structures. Under collapse conditions they look at "alternate load paths" that redirect loads and provide damage tolerance.
It is a much less explore area that I had imagined it to be.
