## 3 Materials and Methods
### AI-Based Optimization
Further research may be devoted to parallel processing or other computational efficiency methods to address this bottleneck. Moreover, if the function optimization uses an AI-driven initial design generation function, one can reduce computation times besides having a good starting structure within which the optimization will be made. Moreover, the geometric configuration of the structure can be created in Dynamo with AI by simply providing the specifications in text form. Further improvements could involve extending the methodology to more complex structures, making it even more suitable for larger problems. Altogether, the proposed approach is both effective and efficient, since it combines reliability analysis and metaheuristic optimization algorithms supported by AI and advanced
