by Guillermo Reales

This code provides an FEM code in MATLAB to perform topology optimization (TO) of systems with thermal, voltage, and mechanical degrees of freedom. In particular the code provides examples to run TO for a thermocouple for cooling purposes with decreased temperature objectives using power and stress constraints together with a variable voltage gradient.
