Scope: The guideline explains the functions and possibilities of the various bionic optimization methods and illustrates them with exemplary examples. Through the process of evolution, biological force carriers such as trees, bones, claws and thorns have optimally adapted to their load, which can be seen in their design principles. From this biological principle, computer-based bionic optimization methods for technical components were derived using the finite element method (FEM): Computer Aided Optimization (CAO), Soft Kill Option (SKO) and Computer Aided Internal Optimization (CAIO). The aim of the methods is to optimally use materials to reduce weight or increase the resilience and service life of the components. An even simpler and faster method that any designer can use to optimize components is the “tension triangle method”. The wide range of possible uses and the relative simplicity and comprehensibility of bionic optimization methods for users opens up the possibility of anchoring component optimization early in the design process. The guideline is aimed primarily at designers, developers, engineers and technicians, but generally at everyone involved in the design and assessment of load-bearing structures.*www.vdi.de/6224
