Users:Structural Optimization

General Overview

First, you should have a look at the general formulation of an optimization problem.

For a simple structural optimization example have a look at the benchmark example in:

Single Aspects in Detail

The single components of an optimization problem are described here:

• Objectives and Constraints
• Design Variables
• Variable Bounds
• Optimization Algorithms
