Geometry Optimization plays an important role concerning to design tasks in mechanical engineering. For those we are studying sheet metal products like cable conduits. We formulate a nonlinear, continuous optimization problem to find an optimal geometry for such a sheet metal product. The goal is to find from a given topology the optimal geometry parameters concerning to the minimal bending of a cable conduit, spanning a huge distance. Hereby a lot of constraints, like given sizes of cross‐section areas of the chambers, given quantity of sheet metal, and so on have to be fullfilled. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
