This paper concerns a comparative analysis of a novel biologically inspired method for topology optimization. The proposed methodology develops each individual topology according to a set of rules that regulate a ‘cellular division’ process. These rules are then evolved using a genetic algorithm to minimize objective functions while satisfying a set of constraints. The results reported in this work show that the methodology suits engineering design and represents an improvement over existing topology optimization methods based on evolutionary algorithms.
