Design response combination

Creating response combinations like relative values, differences or mean values requires operations on a number of previously extracted design responses. For sensitivity based topology optimization, only weighted sums are admitted in objective function and constraint definitions. For controller based shape optimization, a large variety of other operators are admissible. All operators are available to create new responses for monitoring of optimization results.
