Application of the Expert System for Discrete Optimization of Space Truss

  • Conference paper
Book cover Discrete Structural Optimization

Abstract

The paper presents the problems associated with the discrete optimization of halls covered with a space truss. A particular attention is paid to functions which, in the optimization analysis, are performed by the expert system and to tools this system makes use of. The expert module allows the interactive cooperation with optimization programs, facilitates introducting a task, allows the adoption of optimization algorithm control, creates and uses the knowledge base while computing and also handles results. The prepared procedures for the information selection and reduction as well as for the inference and decision - making allow the system knowledge base to “self-teach” and be updated.
