Optimizing the design of a structure
Ebes is ...
A software application aimed at the design, calculus, and analysis of 2D and 3D bar structures.
jMetal is ...
An object-oriented Java-based framework for multi-objective optimization with metaheuristic algorithms.
Ebes+jMetal is ...
A software package that allows to design bar structures which can further be optimized with multi-objective metaheuristics according to different goals, such as minimizing the structure weight and minimizing the deformation.
It is intended for ...
Students and professionals of disciplines such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and architecture
They are provided with a software covering the full process of developing bar structures including a powerful optimization module that, if the solvers are previously configured, can be used with a minimum knowledge of the metaheuristic internals.
Researchers working in the design of optimization techniques
The problems designed with Ebes+jMetal can be used as a benchmark to evaluate the performance of new multi-objective metaheuristics.
