Hi!
I am optimizing a high rise steel structure with outriggers using GA. now the main problem is designing of structure elements like outriggers and beams and columns. as long as there is no design process in opensees and i am linking matlab to opensees for the optimization process i would like to know if there is a chance to design the structural elements in each steps of optimization? is it possible to use SAP or Etabs for this concern and link them to opensees?
Thanks!

Re: Design Structural elements
I am not very familiar with SAP but I know some projects where the OpenSees users were combining SAP and OpenSees in the way you want, so I think it is possible.
