 o Qian, X., ``Topology optimization in B-spline space,'' Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, Vol. 265, Pages 15–35, October 2013. [pdf] 
 
 
 For technical details about the approach, please refer to the paper ``Topology Optimization in B-spline Space'' by Xiaoping Qian in journal Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering. 
 Usage: btop85(nelx,nely,volfrac,penal,n_mu, n_mv, mp, mq) o nelx, nely: number of analysis elements in x and y directions o volfrac: volume fraction o penal: penalty o n_mu, n_mv: number of knot intervals in x and y directions o mp, mq: degrees of uniform B-splines in x and y directions 
 An example from running ``btop85(30,10,0.5,3,30,10,2,2)'' is shown in Fig. 1 which includes the following command line output. It.: 119 Obj.: 230.7883 Vol.: 0.500 ch.: 0.009
