Thank you for your responses. From my research, a GA does seem like the way to go. To clarify my original question, I have a stiffness goal and need to optimize the chassis to meet that goal with minimum mass. I am considering trying to set up optimization using MATLAB to create designs and...
Hey Guys,
I am designing the chassis for my school's Formula SAE car. We use a welded steel tube space frame and in the past, the design has been done intuitively then manually optimized using FEA. I was wondering, since a space frame chassis is relatively simple to analyze and there are many...
