| Abstract: |
| A structural optimal design method based on parallel computing and genetic algorithm is proposed to realize the rapid, economical, and reasonable design scheme for structures of steel-UHPC composite beam with waffle slabs.A parallel computing platform was established in Python to enable Abaqus and Python to perform the simultaneous numerical simulation and data processing.The genetic algorithm was used to optimize the steel-UHPC composite beams with waffle slabs with the goal of minimizing cost, which verified the feasibility of the proposed method.The results show that the intensive computational tasks in the genetic algorithm can be parallelized and distributed to different computational resources to improve computing efficiency;the application of parallel computing can increase the optimization efficiency by 8.6 times;the average CPU usage of parallel computing and sequential computing is 82% and 18%, respectively.The successful application of the proposed method can provide a reference for the optimal design of other types of structures. |
