OPTIM II: A 'Magic' Compatible Large Scale Automated Minimum Weight Design Program. Volume II. Programmer's Manual.
Abstract
An automated minimum weight design program is presented. This program called OPTIM 2 provides a flexible framework for implementation of finite element technology in minimum weight design. Capabilities for displacement, stress and buckling analyses are included in the program. Eight finite elements are incorporated in the finite element library. These are: axial, shear web, triangular plate, quadrilateral plate, tubular beam, axial with mid-point node, triangular plate with idpoint nodes and quadrilaterial plate element with mid-point nodes. These finite element representations include matrices for stiffness and stresses.
