11 Conclusions The topology optimization (SIMP) approach supported the development of a chassis for actively cooled downhole electronics. Two main design concepts were found and analyzed. A parametric study evaluated the sensitivity of the optimized topologies to the boundary conditions. The final design was defined according to the optimization results and proved to perform very closely to the optimized systems November October 2014
