Something that might be useful is pictures of before and after the optimization. That would give people just stumbling on to the subject an idea of what this actually is. I know there are plenty of pictures out there, but I don't know where to find some that are legal to post here. If I get ambitious I'll look around a bit more, or maybe make some of my own. - EndingPop 22 Dec 2005
Yes, shape optimization is not much different than design optimizatoin, only that the quantity to be optimized is a shape.
I don't know how to write the introduction better, that is the mathematical definition. There is some examples section under the introduction which tries to expain what that is about. Did you read that section?
Yes, this article needs more work, but I don't work in the area for the moment, and I can't make nice pictures (I never worked on real world optimization, only in an academic setting). Feel free to work on this article yourself. :) Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 16:15, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
The page has been updated to include general shape optimization along with topology optimization. Is intended to include things such as parametric shape optimization? If so, I think we need to have more information on that subject and possibly separate the topics. Also, you removed the links to FEA codes on the FEM website, should we do the same here? - EndingPop 12:46, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Please avoid adding links to websites of companies selling topology optimization software. This is in violation of WP:External links. See #4 in the linked section. - EndingPop 21:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
