Abstract

An overview of the concept and modules of a three phase integrated structural optimization system is the subject of this Chapter. The topology optimization module provides Information about the Optimum layout and topology. In the image processing module by employing Computer vision techniques a structural model with smooth boundaries is extracted. In the third phase, using the conventional size and shape optimization methods the final optimal design is obtained. By constructing integrated design and optimization systems considerable improvement may be achieved by cutting development time and design costs.
