Trajectory-Aware Flow Matching for Topology Optimisation

arXiv:2607. 14652v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Topology optimisation (TO) often requires repeated finite element analysis and sensitivity-based material updates, which can be costly when multiple candidate designs are needed under varying physical and design conditions.

Zero-shot rib design: merging training-free generative prior with topology optimization

The paper introduces a method that integrates a frozen text‑to‑image diffusion model into density‑based topology optimization via score distillation sampling. By converting a natural language prompt into a generative gradient, the approach lets physics decide which design features survive, achieving significant compliance reductions across multiple domains and physics regimes. An automated pipeline then transforms the optimized density fields into CAD‑ready geometries.

KATOsuper: Surrogate-accelerated neural topology optimization with sensitivity-consistent Fourier neural operators

KATOsuper is an objective‑agnostic framework that accelerates neural topology optimization by coupling neural‑reparameterized TO with a Sensitivity‑Consistent Fourier Neural Operator (SC‑FNO). It uses a forward_split architecture to ensure that sensitivities derived via automatic differentiation remain consistent with predicted objectives, enabling stable optimization. The method demonstrates significant deployment‑time speedups (15–110×) over MATLAB baselines while preserving optimality across 2D and 3D benchmark problems, including compliance and stress minimization, and supports zero‑shot extrapolation to higher resolutions.

Neural Operator-enabled Topology-informed Evolutionary Strategy for PDE-Constrained Optimization

The inverse design of physical systems governed by partial differential equations is computationally demanding due to the high dimensionality and non-convexity of design spaces. Generative models for inverse design often lack robustness and transferability, whereas evolutionary strategies are robust but struggle in high-dimensional spaces.
