Topology optimization is a design method that is gaining attention as a methodology that can propose shapes that go beyond the designer's ideas. However, the resulting shapes may not be useful in industrial products because they may have geometrically complex substructures. To solve this problem, it is necessary to construct a topology optimization method that considers the geometric constraints required from the manufacturing process. My research group proposes a methodology that considers the geometric constraints required by the manufacturing process utilizing fictitious physical models. In this study, I propose a general formulation that expands on our previous work.
