goat is an optimization solver add-on component. It perfectly complements galapagos, David Rutten's evolutionary solver based on a randomized core. goat pursues a mathematical rigorous approach and relies on gradient-free optimization algorithms, delivering fast and deterministic results. At every run, goat will yield the same optimal result.
goat is a drop-in replacement for galapagos. It is based on David Rutten's galapagos GUI and interfaces NLopt, a collection of mathematical optimization libraries.
Tutorials
For getting started with optimization in parametric modelling environments in general and with goat in special, check out our presentation slides on Geometry and Optimization with several comprehensive examples.
Once you are familiar with the basics of optimization, head over to our comprehensive documentation on goat's different configuration options.
I am a very new user of karamba so the goat. currently I'm working on shell stress line analysis. I'm reproducing the example of "Input surfaces and analyze as a shell" mentioned in the karamba website for practice. I have installed the goat but I don't know how to use the software to optimize for the example. Few examples I have seen some examples goat but found not effective. I want to know how to choose the optimization parameter for the example? do the shell stress line pattern will be changed after optimization? can I use NLopt library algorithms by goat?

Hi,
I am a very new user of karamba so the goat. currently I'm working on shell stress line analysis. I'm reproducing the example of "Input surfaces and analyze as a shell" mentioned in the karamba website for practice. I have installed the goat but I don't know how to use the software to optimize for the example. Few examples I have seen some examples goat but found not effective. I want to know how to choose the optimization parameter for the example? do the shell stress line pattern will be changed after optimization? can I use NLopt library algorithms by goat?
thanks
