✦ Synopsis

A CA D system based on combining structural optimization methods and graphical interaction is presented. The optimization methods implement the automated decisions and algorithms while the interaction provides the means to implement the designer's decisions. A new interactive optimization procedure for optimal truss design is proposed. The structural topology, geometry and member sizes are treated as design variables. Results show that the system provides a powerful tool to obtain a practical optimum design.

A regional genetic algorithm (R-GA) is used for the discrete optimal design of truss structures. The chromosomes are selected from a sub-region centred on the continuous optimum. This approach replaces genetic rebirth as previously proposed by other authors, thereby signiÿcantly reducing computation
