Hi;
I am working on optimizaton of composite pressure vessels and currently on the stacking sequence optimization.I have two design variables(fiber angle & layer thickness)and I want to optimize the weight.I prefer to use genetic algorithm for optimization and ansys for simulation.I am seeking a procedure to use genetic algrithm with ansys and make a loop beetween these two to obtain the optimum variables.any suggestion would be appreciated.

Cheers
