PERMAS offers the following modules for optimization:

PERMAS-OPT - Design Optimization

This module automatically optimizes structures with respect to sizing parameters as well as the shape of the component. Results from a static analysis, an Eigenvalue Analysis, a modal frequency response or inertia relief can be taken into account. Arbitrary conditions can be formulated as the objective function.

PERMAS-TOPO - Layout Optimization

Offers fully integrated topology optimization strategies for the concept development phase. The design space may be defined with respect to a variety of different aspects. Results from static and dynamic as well as contact analyses may be used for optimization. Special constraints are available for casting. A variety of algorithms for smoothing and reduction of results simplify the further processing of the optimized model.
