Shape optimization

Shape optimization is a process used in engineering and design to improve the shape of an object for better performance or efficiency. This can involve altering the curves, angles, or contours of an object to enhance its functionality, reduce drag in aerodynamics, or save materials in manufacturing. By using mathematical techniques and computer simulations, designers can analyze how changes in shape affect factors like strength, speed, or cost, ultimately leading to a more effective and optimized design. This concept is widely applied in various fields, including aerospace, automotive, and architectural design.
