Optimization Methods · Abhinavbwj/Claude-skills-for-Computational-Designers

Apply optimization algorithms to AEC design problems

Provides guidance on genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, particle swarm optimization, gradient-based methods, and topology/shape/size optimization for architecture, engineering, and construction design problems, from column grids to facade performance trade-offs.

Good for

  • Choose an optimization method for a design problem
  • Set up a genetic algorithm for structural sizing
  • Balance multiple objectives like cost, weight, and carbon
