inspired algorithm is presented. In the algorithm
CCSA, the bio-inspired procedure of shaping the
structure in the form of constant criterion surface has
been joined with local minima avoidance scheme
based on simulated annealing. This ensure achieving
the high efficiency of optimal solution searching.
With the introduction of additional structure
continuity control, the optimization procedure has
been enriched by the possibility of self-repair which
significantly increases the reliability of the
optimization process. As illustrated in the example,
the application of the automated design framework
allowed to obtain efficient solution with minimum
effort of the designer.
