Abstract
Structural optimization links conventional analysis tools to mathematical optimization schemes (Figure 1). The parameterization of the geometry plays an important role reducing the number of optimization variables [3] (Figure 2). The present study focuses on two aspects: The extension of conventional shape optimization to geometrically nonlinear and stability problems [6] and the introduction of adaptive topology optimization; for details see [4], [5].
