Compliant Mechanism
Final structure has as much motion as possible.
Black areas are part of the structure, white areas are holes, grey areas have intermediate densities, and should not be present in the final design.

Minimum Compliance with fixed density areas
Final structure is the strongest one possible.
Some areas start and remain as fixed material, while others start and remain as holes.
Minimum Compliance and heat dissipation, mixed
Final structure is as strong as possible and dissipates as much heat as possible.
