A unique system for lightweight, optimal design of structures is now available to the design engineer. At the heart of this system is a new, computerized set of optimization algorithms which assist the engineer in selecting the most promising concept. By combining this set of algorithms with existing finite element preprocessors, analysis programs, and postprocessors, the design engineer can now develop an optimal, lightweight structure in much less time.
