MSC Nastran Machine Learning - Structural Optimization of a 10 Bar Truss

Machine learning methods are used to optimize a truss structure. MSC Nastran is used to evaluate the FE model. The design variables are the cross-sectional areas of the rod elements. The objective is to minimize the weight of the structure while constraining the axial stresses and displacements. Most machine learning examples are lower dimension problems with 1 to 5 parameters. This tutorial demonstrates a higher dimension scenario with 10 parameters.
