TO-Agents: AI Framework for Preference-Guided Topology Optimization

ai-technology · 2026-05-23

TO-Agents is an AI framework utilizing multiple agents that links natural-language design intentions with iterative topology optimization. It transforms problem descriptions given by humans into validated inputs for solvers, executes a topology optimization solver, generates 3D topologies, and employs vision-language reasoning alongside an independent judge agent to assess outcomes and adjust parameters. The framework underwent testing on two design challenges: a cantilever beam benchmark and a phone stand product design, where designers indicated aesthetic preferences for hierarchically branched structures modeled after natural tree forms.
