TOSCA Structure is a modular system for non-parametric structural optimization that enables topology, shape and bead optimization in combination with standard finite element solvers. The setup is very simple as no model parameterisation is necessary and existing solver input files can directly be used for optimization. TOSCA Structure is the right optimization tool to:
