The　Guide-weight　method　combined　with　SIMP　theory　was　used　to　solve　topology　optimization　problems.In　order　to　define　the　step　factor　of　iterative　formula,two　variable　step　factor　control　method　was　proposed,automatically　determining　the　step　factors　of　each　iteration　referring　to　structural　optimization　index.Density　compensation　method　was　also　introduced,automatically　determining　the　timing　of　density　compensation　based　on　the　structural　optimization　index.The　classical　topology　optimization　case　was　presented　to　prove　the　superiority　of　the　two　step　factor　control　method.The　difference　between　OC　algorithm　and　Guide-weight　method　was　found　by　analyzing　the　elongate　beam　problems　and　the　experiment　result　of　the　two　step　factor　control　method　with　and　without　density　compensation　were　compared.The　experimental　results　show　that　the　two　step　control　method　can　bring　a　better　solution　and　improve　solving　efficiency.The　Guide-weight　method　can　get　a　more　closed　global　optimal　solution　compared　with　the　OC　algorithm,and　the　density　compensation　method　can　further　improve　the　efficiency　of　Guide-weight　method.　©　2018,　Editorial　Office　of　Chinese　Journal　of　Computational　Mechanics.　All　right　reserved.
