“…The exported surface mesh is first converted into a volumetric mesh and then into Finite Elements Method input data. A static elasticity calculation is performed using FrontISTR software [34,35]. The maximal value of the von Mises stress is obtained and the stress distribution is analyzed.…”

This paper presents an automated, skeletonization-based feature recognition system designed for use with biomimetic structural optimization results. It enables importing optimization results back to the CAD system as a set of parameterized geometries. The system decomposes the output of the structural optimization system into a set of simple CAD features, cylinders and spheres, enabling continuation of mechanical design workflow using native CAD representation. The system was designed to work in a fully automated mode accepting 3D objects as an input. The system uses mesh skeletonization to generate an initial solution which is refined using an evolutionary algorithm for the 3D geometry reconstruction. The system is designed as the last step of structural optimization. Applied for industrial use, it preserves unique features of this approach, such as excluding parts of the domain from optimization. The biomimetic topology optimization was used for structural optimization for all presented examples. The proposed algorithm is demonstrated using two cases: well-recognized cantilever beam optimization and industrial application of the structural optimization. For both cases, resultant geometry stress distribution is provided and analyzed.

After the initial development of the first TOUGH-based geomechanics model 15 years ago based on linking TOUGH2 multiphase flow simulator to the FLAC3D geomechanics simulator, at least 15 additional TOUGH-based geomechanics models have appeared in the literature. This development has been fueled by a growing demand and interest for modeling coupled multiphase flow and geomechanical processes related to a number of geoengineering applications, such as in geologic CO 2 sequestration, enhanced geothermal systems, unconventional hydrocarbon production, and most recently, related to reservoir stimulation and injection-induced seismicity. This paper provides a brief overview of these TOUGHbased geomechanics models, focusing on some of the most frequently applied to a diverse set of problems associated with geomechanics and its couplings to hydraulic, thermal and chemical processes.
