This webinar on digital optimisation showcases strategies to optimise designs and explores how to apply available techniques to achieve material and cost savings.

Optimisation can be a daunting and tedious task if handled incorrectly. This webinar explored the different optimisation strategies available to designers and the business benefits arising from adopting them.

As sustainability concerns demand working practices that conserve material, and designers strive to create more innovative structures, implementing optimisation in the design process can often result in more cost-effective designs achieved in less time.

Watch the recording of the live webinar,  which saw industry experts outline the different types of optimisation methods available in relation to specific design needs. The presentations also focused on best practices to implement these methods efficiently, thus allowing designers to focus on the broader picture.

Reasons to watch

  • Hear why it is beneficial for businesses to adopt optimisation in their workflows

  • Understand the different types of optimisation available, and how and when to use each

  • Discover strategies to implement optimisation

  • Learn how to apply optimisation techniques that allow designers to focus on wider scheme design rather than spending time tweaking parameters

  • Learn how to specify criteria by rationalising and understanding trade-offs between criteria

Intended for

  • Directors, Managers, and SME owners wanting to learn more about optimisation to better engage with their teams

  • Chartered structural engineering designers needing to upskill
