摘要：THE PRESENT PAPER ANALYZES TWO OPTIMIZATION VARIANTS OF A TRICYCLE METAL FRAME.THE INTEGRATION OF THE PARAMETRIC DESIGN IS TREATED THROUGH THE OPTIMIZATION OFAN EXISTING METAL STRUCTURE BY APPLYING THE VORONOI DIAGRAM AND THE SHAPEGENERATOR.BOTH VARIANTS ARE BASED ON A FREE CELLULAR FORM THAT ONLY MEETS THE CRITERIA OFFUNCTIONALITY AND PRESELECTED RESISTANCE, THE REMAINDER BEING DEDUCED BYANALOGY.THE REQUIREMENT FOR SUCH OPTIMIZATIONS STEMS FROM THE NEED TO ACHIEVE A CONCEPTTHAT FULFILLS THE SAME FUNCTIONS AS A PRODUCT DESIGNED USING CLASSICAL DESIGNMETHODS, BUT UNLIKE THESE, IT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL AND IT RESULTS INBETTER STRENGTH, A PROCESS BY WHICH THE PRODUCT OBTAINS A FINAL ORGANIC FORM.IN THE FIRST STAGE THE FORCES ACTING ON THE TRICYCLE FRAME WILL BE STUDIED IN ORDERTO GENERATE THE NECESSARY CONDITIONS FOR STABILITY, STRENGTH AND FUNCTIONALITY OFTHE WHOLE SYSTEM.ONCE THESE ARE ESTABLISHED, THE FRAME WILL BE OPTIMIZED BY APPLYING THE VORONOIDIAGRAM AND THE SHAPE GENERATOR USING THE INVENTOR PROGRAM.
