Through continuous topology optimization the design within modern product development of structural loaded components can be enhanced by using maximized lightweight potential. At the same time the product development pro-cess is accelerated due to a reduced number of design cycles. Because topology optimization yields an optimized material distribution, the designer is not re-quired anymore to iteratively work out the principal geometric shape. How-ever, optimized material distribution itself neither follows design rules, nor does it pro-vide parametric relations within parts. Instead, a redesign has to be done in order to fulfill manufacturing requirements and to obtain a parametric CAD-model. This usually takes a lot of effort in time and expert knowledge.
For the reason of a consistent development approach under assistance of com-puter aided methods, a concept is presented, that is demanded to solve the task of redesigning topology optimization results in parametric CAD-models in a semi-automated manner. To achieve this, medial axis skeletons are used for analyzing the geometric data of optimization results. In a second step, the skeletons are used for rebuilding parametric CAD-models. They are taken as references for common CAD-functionality whereby a parametric and history based modeling structure are generated.
