“…The problem of optimization of topology, shape and parameters has been discussed in numerous research publications. The authors of the works [2,4,7,9] dealt with optimization of different criteria in mathematical terms, developing solutions based on numerical methods. The authors of the works [1,3,6,8] solved the problems of optimizing physical processes using the finite element method.…”

This paper discusses the problem of design optimization for an I-section profile. The optimization process was performed using the Abaqus program. The numerical analysis of a strictly static problem was based on the finite element method. The scope of the analysis involved both determination of stresses and displacements in the profile and structure topology optimization. The main focus of the numerical analysis was put on reducing profile volume while maintaining the same load and similar stresses prior to and after optimization. The solution of the optimization problem is just an example of the potential of using this method in combination with the finite element method in the Abaqus environment. Nowadays numerical analysis is the most effective cost-reducing alternative to experimental tests and it enables structure examination by means of a computer.

“…With the consideration of a variable base temperature, Kundu and Das [7] analyzed the heat transfer characteristics in eccentric annular disc fins. Under dehumidifying surface conditions, an analysis had been carried out by Kundu and Barman [8] on annular fin assembly of trapezoidal profiles to determine fin performances and optimization. Optimization of space radiators having step fins has been analyzed by Arslanturk [9].…”

“…To avoid this difficulty, different fin shapes like triangular, trapezoidal, recto-trapezoidal, straight fin with step change in thickness, SRC profile, eccentric, elliptic, T-shape, etc. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] had been established for the design purpose. In a restricted design application, superiorities of all these profiled shapes were highlighted in their analyses.…”
