My master thesis is about concrete thin shell spatial structures optimiziation. I am using abaqus atom optimization processes. I am currently setting as objective minimizing the strain energy and as constrain volume <=0.5 , but one thing that i'm having difficulties, how can i make the optimization to consider the force flow. so i mean sometimes i get results of parts of structure standing in the air with no connection to the other part (including supports) . Please help me with this---- i want my optimization process to reach the ribbed structure point (according to theoretical optimization). So i want topological optimization by including no loss in stiffness. Thanks
