Parametric and non-parametric optimization<\/strong><\/p>\n

Structural optimization can be approached from two complementary perspectives: non-parametric optimization, which freely redistributes material to generate new shapes, and parametric optimization, which adjusts predefined variables such as thicknesses, radii, or positions within an existing geometry. This flexibility allows both designing from scratch and improving already-developed components, adapting the strategy to the project\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n
