The Multiphysics Systems Optimization Laboratory (MSOL, “Laboratório de Otimização de Sistemas Multifísicos”) is a research group of the Department of Mechatronics and Mechanical Systems Engineering (PMR) of the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (Poli-USP). The main objectives of this group are centered in computational optimization techniques (in particular of topology optimization) applied to the design of mechatronic systems, including the fabrication of the optimized structures through 3D printer (additive manufacturing).
