Main Article Content
Computational methods enable mathematical discretisation in structural design. Thus, thanks to the algorithmic design, the obtained results matrix presents various structurally efficient load-bearing elements. The main aim of this paper is to address the topic of material optimisation in truss bar structures with different approaches. The paper analyses and compares steel truss optimisation based on two software optimisation algorithms (MS Excel and Ansys Mechanical) using gradient and sub-problem methods. The key findings present how effective each method is in structural optimisation and concludes the present study with a roadmap to efficient structural designing of the load-bearing truss elements.
