Until recently, structural optimization has not significantly impacted the wider analysis community. Several reasons may be advanced, the most prominent in the mechanical engineering field being the requirement for shell bending elements. In addition, the capability has generally been made available as ad hoc packages loosely connected to an analysis program. SDRC’s OPTISEN offers fully integrated analysis and redesign with interactive graphics capabilities for both the specification of the design problem and the interpretation of results.
