The Feature-Driven Method for Structural Optimization details a novel structural optimization method within a CAD framework, integrating structural optimization and feature-based design. The book presents cutting-edge research on advanced structures and introduces the feature-driven structural optimization method by regarding engineering features as basic design primitives. Consequently, it presents a method that allows structural optimization and feature design to be done simultaneously so that feature attributes are preserved throughout the design process. The book illustrates and supports the effectiveness of the method described, showing potential applications through numerical modeling techniques and programming.

This volume presents a high-performance optimization method adapted to engineering structures―a novel perspective that will help engineers in the computation, modeling and design of advanced structures.

Integrates two independent methods - structural optimization and feature-based design―into one framework
Adapts the high performance optimization method to the practice of designing engineering structures
Provides numerical evidence for the effectiveness and potential of the methods described
Works within a computer-aided design framework to develop a novel structural optimization methodology
Presents engineering features as the basic design primitives in structural optimization
