One of the most important purposes in the design of machines and structures is to produce the most light products of the lowest price with satisfying function and performance. In this study, a scheme of design optimization for the weight down of vehicle body structure is presented. Design sensitivity of vehicle body structure is investigated and design optimization is performed to get weight down with the allowable stiffness of body in white. Stress, deformation and natural frequencies are the constraint of the optimization.
