Abstract

Design optimization of finite element-based structures can be very compute intensive thus inhibiting interactive design. The research presented here outlines a fast method for approximating eigenvalues and eigenvectors across a wide range of design changes. An optimization scheme is described that combines Padé Approximants with curve-fitting techniques to achieve good approximations for large design changes.
