This and the next several slides pertain to EXAMPLE 1: minimum-weight design of an elastic, isotropic, rectangular, simply-supported flat plate under three loadings applied separately as three different environments.
The names of the decision variables for optimization, established by the GENOPT USER, are thickness, THICK; length, LENGTH and width, WIDTH.
The purpose of this simple example is to demonstrate how GENOPT works.
The next several slides are from the original GENOPT paper:
