Abstract

The article presents the concept of methodology of automated design based on bio-inspired algorithm of structural optimization. For the purposes of the automatic design, the constant criterion surface algorithm (CCSA) is used The algorithm shapes the structure under constant constraint surface rule and gives possibility to start optimization from a minimum volume arrangement. The automated design schema considers a minimum effort of the designer that is limited to defining the loads and boundary conditions. To ensure a high reliability of the automated design process, the CCSA algorithm was enriched by a procedure of the structure continuity control. As illustrated in the chair example, the application of bio-inspired algorithm in the automated design framework allows to obtain efficient solution.
