In the paper, a lightweight design method for tailor-welded blanks (TWBs), termed as Topology Tailoring Method (TTM), is proposed, which is based on topology optimization philosophy and in which the variable density method is employed so as to reach the goal of the smallest structure strain energy. By using this method, a TWB autodoor subjected to a specific working condition is topologically optimized in HyperWorks, thus obtaining the more lightweight autodoor. At last, a side impact simulation of the autodoor is demonstrated, thus showing the effectiveness of the method.
