Modification of the optimization model for simulation of large-diameter pipes bending

This paper presents a modification of the existing optimalization model in order to increase the accuracy of the solution in the initial and the end part of the bend. Developed optimalization algorithms are implemented in the program MATLAB, and the simulation of the bending process is solved in the FEM program ADINA. Created optimisation program automatically generate model for FEM analysis and automaticaly analyses obtained results from FEM analysis.
