Abstract
This paper will introduce the novel concept of creative design to multi-objective topology optimization. Creative design in topology optimization involves allowing the optimization process to be influenced by specific designer inputs regarding topological properties and preferences. These inputs can be created very naturally within the level set framework. A new objective function using a signed least square error is also proposed to measure deviation from the designer inputs. The example presented here shows the trade-off that exists between deviation from desired designer inputs and performance metrics, such as compliance. If the designer inputs are aesthetic features, the interpretation of the creative design becomes one that searches for beauty and performance in topology.
