EVEN Optimized Structure: Tubular Steel Trellis Motorbike Frame

Optimization goals:- Adjust stiffness of the frame to given values.
- Minimize weight.
Constraints:Only 3 tube dimensions available
Optimization variables:Dimensions of the tubes
Results achieved:Adjusting the desired stiffness values exactly while reducing the weight about 22% at the same time.
