This PR creates benchmarking examples for topology optimization on 3D domains. This first commit includes a 3D bracket example along with some modifications to reduce the memory footprint of this computation. A CPU time profiling of this example demonstrated that some of the approaches implemented for 2D domains will require retooling to ensure scalability on larger 3D domains. More commits to come in the following days.
This first commit includes:
-- Modified geometric filter class to handle both serial and parallel/ghosted vectors to compute the filtered field.
-- Added 3D bracket to SIMP-based topology optimization example 6.
