Abstract
Solid Isotropic Microstructure with Penalization(SIMP) in topology optimization was deeply analyzed, and thus SIMP topology optimization criteria algorithm was deduced. Simulation analysis to the results was also conducted by Ansys, so as the structural lightweight design to machine crossbeams of the HTM series gantry. By verifying, the structure was 3.8% lower than the traditional structure quality, stiffness increased by 16.07%, and the overall inherent frequency was improved. By applying topology optimization method to the design process of the machining center HTM series, ma-terial utilization is improved and production costs were reduced.
