Abstract
The paper provides an overview of the structural optimization system development. The basis and also the primary idea for algorithm formulation was the bone remodelling phenomenon leading to the optimization of the trabecular net within the bone. The idea was completed with theorems concerning the surface constant strain energy principle to form the biomimetic optimization system. The paper describes the key element of the optimization procedure: our own mesh generator called Cosmoprojector. It also presents the concept of Finite Element mesh parallel generation as well as Finite Element Analysis in a parallel environment as a recent enhancement of the presented method. Finally, it presents some results of computations obtained with the use of biomimetic structural optimization.
