In this study, finite elements addition and removal method by stress range is applied to optimize shapes in structures, without using classical and numerical optimization methods and search methods. The program based on this algorithm is developed and compared to theoritial results with considerable accuracy. Classical methods need mesh generation for finite element analysis for every iteration, the developed method needs updated mesh data such as coordinates of nodes, elements connectivity, and loads on nodes. And other tools of finite element analysis can be in use as a black box to interface with this program.
