Abstract

The paperless design is becoming popular in the manufacture with the advance of computer technology. However, the design based on the freehand drawing and the beam theory is still common in the bridge design field. This paper proposes the method of designing the steel truss structure with the help of the optimization technique and the finite element method. The grid computing technology and the replacement with a Bezier curve are adopted in this approach for the further improvement in the computing speed.
