Introduction of a Novel and Powerful Optimization Method Using Genetic Algorithm and Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Optimizing the complicated engineering structures has always been a huge issue. A technique for the design optimization of different components is presented using genetic algorithm and finite element method. To reduce the runtime and increase the efficiently of proposed model a new method of coupling is presented. In addition, two different problems were solved using the presented model and the results showed a great and fast convergence.
