Structural Optimization is a computational engineering methodology within structural engineering that systematically improves the material distribution, geometry, or topology of load-bearing systems to achieve optimal performance metrics—such as minimal weight or maximal stiffness—under prescribed constraints, distinguishing it from conventional design approaches by its reliance on mathematical optimization algorithms integrated with structural analysis.
