Abstract
Some powerful analysis systems nowadays existing in the
market, include very elemental redesign facilities. There are
also more complex and sophisticated optimal design systems,
but they require very expensive inversions, as much in
hardware as in software. In the contrary, there is still a lack of
low cost, easy-to-use tool for the independent industrial
designers, and for the small industries, to abandon the
craftsman trial and error method, based on synthesis-through-
experience, reinforced with the knowledge of the structural
response (obtained through the very well stabilized analysis
processors).
In the present paper, two of the most critical aspects in the problem of the optimal design lack of acceptance (robustness and friendliness) are studied, and the solutions adopted in the optimal design of structures system DISSENY, being developed by the authors, are explained. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
