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.
