Abstract
Behaviour Models for structural properties provide the main support for the eco-nomic application of mathematical programming in structural mechanics. A strictly modular and flexible optimization package, OPTIMA, was designed for this philosophy and is applied to a series of problems as shape finding and resizing, weight and stress reduction. The first steps in three-dimensional shape optimization are performed. Also an adaptive behaviour model for opti-mization of structures exposing nonlinear behaviour is presented and used in some introductory examples.
