Manufacturing industries are aiming to reduce weight of the products at uncompromised structural performance. Topology optimization is a reliable technique to achieve the improved topologies at minimum material utilization. Nature is known as best manufacturer to bring complex structures with the existed materials. The present research is aimed to identify the constructal design patterns that existed in nature through topology optimization. Structures with different boundary conditions are modeled and optimized using Solid Isotropic Material Penalization (SIMP) method through ANSYS software under structural and thermal loading conditions. The performed case studies revealed that the optimized topologies are very close to the nature inspired patterns.

制造业的目标是在不影响结构性能的前提下减轻产品重量。拓扑优化是一种可靠的技术，可以以最低的材料利用率实现改进的拓扑。大自然被誉为将现有材料带入复杂结构的最佳制造商。本研究旨在通过拓扑优化来识别自然界中存在的构造设计模式。在结构和热载荷条件下，通过ANSYS软件使用固体各向同性材料罚分（SIMP）方法对具有不同边界条件的结构进行建模和优化。进行的案例研究表明，优化的拓扑非常接近于自然启发的模式。
