Optimization algorithms are procedures that search for the optimal or near-optimal solution of a problem, according to some predefined criteria or objective function. For example, in structural ...

The second step to compare and benchmark different structural optimization algorithms and software is to choose the optimization algorithm. This is the method that searches for the optimal design ...

The objective of any structural optimization algorithm is to select among various possible design cases the optimum case which will minimize cost, maximize safety, and at the same time comply with the ...

Topology optimization and generative design are two approaches which ... of the forces at work and defining protected zones. Computer algorithms then create a mesh model whose structural integrity ...
