Normalizing a design response for a shape optimization

You can normalize the vectors used as terms for the algorithm that calculates a shape optimization. You may want to normalize design responses before you combine them using a weighted combination; for example, if different loads are applied to different regions. If desired, you can apply either of the following nomalizations:

  • A normalization based on the maximum value in each design cycle (in effect, a normalization of 1.0 for each cycle).

  • A normalization based on the initial value of the design response (the maximum value during the first design cycle).
