What is Optimization?
2008
Altiscad Software ©
Why not produce a design which is the best in its class?
Your clients for your projects will be more pleased with it…
AltiscadOptimizer will help you to search for better design in a systematic, practical and easy way, like never before!
Why doing Optimization?2008

Performance criteria 2/2
Analysis cases: • static, • dynamic, modal, seismic,• linear or non-linear,• load combinations
Parametric description: • various parameters types, • function definition between
parameters, • parameterization of structural and
non-structural objects, • equation driven shapes• load/save parametric file
description
Restrictions:• Structural• Geometric• Parametric

Advantages
• Robot Structure fully INTEGRATED (similar functionality, look and feel, settings sincronization i.e. units, language; automatic control of Robot characteristics as results freezing, calculation error management, auto naming of AO files)
• An unique advantage for project design – OPTIMISATION tool for civil engineering
• A tool to VISUALLY EXPLORE the optimisation process• Easy structure modeling using PARAMETRIC
DESCRIPTION of geometry (modification, transforming, scaling…)
• Preservation of structure constructability by defining PARAMETRIC RESTRICTIONS
• Advanced EQUATION driven MODELER of any geometry shape
