Abstract

CGSOPT is a computer graphics program designed to be used as an aid in providing a graphical environment for the designer to keep track of the progress of the structural optimization procedure. The three dimensional geometry, node coordinates, element types, node and element labels, material properties, boundary constraints, and loading conditions for a truss or frame structure can be viewed and manipulated at the computer graphics workstation. This aids in verification of the input data required for the analysis processor. The output data from the analysis processor, such as stress and deformation, corresponding to the design variable selection in the optimization process can also be displayed at the console to document the path taken by the structural optimization process.
