Abstract

The artide describes a robust and effective implementation of the interior point optimization algorithm. The adopted method includes a precalculation step, which reduces the number of variables by fulfilling the equilibrium equations a priori. This work presents an improved implementation of the precalculation step, which utilizes the principals of the well-known frontal method. The succeeding optimization algorithm is also significantly optimized, by applying a parallel implementation, which eliminates the exponential growth in computational time relative to the element numbers.
