Topology optimization of 3D cantilever beams

(a) Isosurface at density value 0.75 (view A) (b) Isosurface at density value 0.75 (view B)

Minimal compliance optimization with design domain of 4 by 2 by 2. The problem is optimized with 1,327,104 tetrahedral elements on a personal laptop. The sensitivity is obtained through continuous adjoint.
