    In the following figure,  the initial model is illustrated. The boundary is fixed
and the center is loaded with a pressure load

<p>
<br/><img class = "image" src = "../TsoExampleImages/beadPlateModel.png"/><br/></p><p>All nodes of the model should be used for optimization. The
boundary nodes, which are fixed in the finite element model, should
also be fixed during optimization. Therefore, the node fixations of
the finite element model are activated for the optimization
procedure.
