Abstract
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The ever-expanding field of topology optimization (TO) includes the recent development of multi-material topology optimization (MMTO). In this work, the shortcomings of MMTO concerning concept complexity and impracticality with design interpretation are discussed. The current field is explored, for emerging manufacturing constraints which aim to reduce design complexity and promote practical usage of MMTO. The importance of the draw-direction constraint is established, with a methodology for their implementation into MMTO presented.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">The proposed MMTO approach is density-based and relies on solid isotropic material with penalization (SIMP) for material interpolation, and the method of moving asymptotes (MMA) for optimization. The aforementioned draw-direction constraints are implemented into MMTO with a design variable projection technique. Three different types of draw-direction constraints are created, with varying levels of complexity for a set of options for balancing structural performance and design complexity. These constraints are demonstrated across a series of academic models along with a discussion of their comparative performance benefits and drawbacks. In closing, the application of these constraints to large-scale industry problems is evaluated, especially about the real-world challenge of material interfaces and component consolidation.</div></div>

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
