Программная реализация оптимизированного расчета плоских ферм

Abstract

The paper deals with the analytical solution of the problem of optimal design of an arbitrary flat truss and one of the ways of software implementation of the calculation algorithm. The general problems of the design of engineering structures are analyzed. One of the ways to analytically solve the problem of optimal design of a farm, which formed the basis of the developed program Optimum Steel Truss, implemented in any version of Windows, is described. As a criterion for optimization, the minimum mass of a design with constraints on two limiting states is adopted.
