                    Metaheuristic algorithms have become increasingly popular in recent years as a method for determining the optimal design of structures. Nowadays, approximate optimization methods are widely used. This study utilized the Self Adaptive Enhanced Vibrating Particle System (SA-EVPS) algorithm as an approximate optimization method, since the EVPS algorithm requires experimental parameters. As a well-known and large-scale structure, the 582-bar spatial truss structure was analyzed using the finite element method, and optimization processes were implemented using MATLAB. In order to obtain weight optimization, the self-adaptive enhanced vibration particle system (SA-EVPS) is compared with the EVPS algorithm.
