Abstract:

This paper describes the use of the GENESIS program to solve structural optimization problems in automobile design. A brief description of the GENESIS program and the technology behind it is presented. Studies that help designers with maximizing frequencies and finding the best locations for welds are described. Studies on optimization of composite materials are also covered.
