Optimierung

What it is about

In this module you will learn methods and applications of structural optimization for engineers. You will receive fundamental knowledge on modeling, optimization algorithms (including population-based methods), multi-criteria and sensitivity analysis, as well as insights into topology and shape optimization; by the end you will be able to understand, characterize and practically apply optimization tasks.

What you will be able to do

• Summarize background knowledge on theory, methods and application areas of structural optimization
• Understand and evaluate principled population-based optimization algorithms
• Model and solve optimization problems
• Apply sensitivity analysis and multi-criteria optimization
• Independently derive literature and transfer it to engineering tasks
• Analyze algorithms, compare them and develop variants
