We begin by recalling the classical approach to solve shape design problems by gradient methods. Then we proceed to explain how automatic differentiation can simplify the analysis and illustrate this approach to a shape design problem where the shock is required to be at a certain place. The object of this chapter is to show that automatic differentiation seems to work even though the gradients and the calculus of variation have to be extended by Distribution theory.
