Abstract

As the requirements and the necessities for the product design increase continuously, the traditional design methods are insufficient to correspond with consequence and effectiveness at their role. Thus, the modern computional tools, which have developed, ensured the safety and the functional ability of products and simultaneously they offer design optimization methods so that the optimized product can be available at manufacture in a few days or weeks, a procedure which in the past was extremely time – consuming and uncertain to be achieved using the traditional methods.

Keywords: optimization, product design, Finite Element method
