FEMtools Optimization is a toolbox for solving general optimization problems and more specifically for structural design optimization. Based on the acting loads, the design constraints, and the required structural behavior, FEMtools Optimization computes the optimal design parameters for the considered component or structure. The state-of-the-art optimization techniques of FEMtools Optimization enable to increase the performance of the considered component considerably faster than conventional development methods. FEMtools Optimization has an open architecture providing virtuallyunlimited flexibility in the problem definition and offering thepossibility to solve the optimization problem using your preferred FE-solver.
