Weight optimization of welded constructions
Achieve maximum stiffness with as little material as possible
Motivation
Why optimize sheet metal welded constructions?
Reduce material costs
Increase stiffness with same mass
Avoid harmful vibrations
Reduce operating noises

Classical optimization methods are either too costly, deliver suboptimal results or cannot be manufactured.
Automated for any number of sheets
Stiffness/mass ratio guaranteed optimal
Result can be manufactured directly
