Abstract
The facilities of the structural optimization system CAOS are presented. CAOS is a system for CAD-integrated structural optimization and rational design developed at Aalborg University. The geometrical definition is based on the Auto-CAD® system, and the optimized geometry can be transferred back into the Auto-CAD model and replace the original component.
