13. OPTIMIZATION

CHAPTER 13 'OPTIMISATION' 8 OBSERVATIONS: During the execution of the optimization process, the above General Constraints will be taken into account, in addition to the other geometric constraints. A value of -1 in the above fields means that the corresponding restriction does not apply. Using the next command " Deformations ", in the dialog box that appears specify an upper limit to the relative movement (drift) of the floors of the carrier. The resulting optimal solution will also obey this constraint. 1.2.2 Unit Cost of Materials Using this command allows you to specify the cost per unit of material for the different materials supported by the program. The materials are shown in the following dialog box These values are used to calculate the total cost of the construction materials.
