The Optimization Task

SIMULIA Tosca Structure.bead is a module that automatically determines the optimum bead location and orientation for arbitrary shell structures. For this task SIMULIA Tosca Structure provides two algorithms: The Controller-based bead optimization (BEAD_CONTROLLER) and the Sensitivity-based bead optimization (BEAD_SENSITIVITY).
