Abstract
This paper describes the sensitivity analysis using continuum formulation based on the scaling of the internal forces. It presents also the coupling algorithm of the sensitivity module with a mathematical programming method based on the generalized method of moving asymptotes called GMMA. Finally, to demonstrate the efficiency of the developed interface, some numerical examples were studied in geometric linear and nonlinear behaviours.
