Micro Abstract:
For the design of frame structures in civil engineering we are interested in an approach to combine topology and shape optimization. We use a phase field model to generate topology as design concept first. However, it is not possible to estimate the overall fitness of obtained topologies concerning more complex criteria required in civil engineering. Therefore, as a second step, shape optimization with metaheuristic methods considering the normative constraints is performed.
