<p>The guide aids in creating a better understanding of the
problems involved in finding a solution and also gives an understanding of the
obtained solutions to the problems.
The description covers the initial model with its boundary conditions and loads, as
well as the most important attributes of the optimization model.

The shown models normally have a low
number of elements and nodes so the optimization of the examples is
easily done and with little calculation efforts.</p>
<p>The examples give step-by-step instructions for
<span class = "ph">Tosca Structure.gui</span>.

<p>The examples are available in the example directory of the

distribution:</p>

<p>The parameter file of the optimization (*.par), the analysis model for the FE
analysis (*.bdf, *.inp, ...) and all the other necessary files that are important for
defining the optimization problem can be found in each individual model
directory.</p>
