Abstract

This paper introduces a computer based, fully integrated design optimization (FIDO) system to allow engineers to produce efficient engineering structural designs for a set of loading conditions. The basic problem may be summarised as follows: given the loading and support conditions, what is the optimal structure? To solve such a problem, a three stage process is developed involving: (a) preliminary optimal layout design, (b) structural model redefinition with parameterization and (c) refined optimal shape and sizing design.
