Input: Initial Shape
Output: Form-found Shape
1: Discretise the shape with triangular elements with 3DOF per node
2: State boundary conditions with DOF = 0
3: Initialize PSO
4: c1, c2, w, tol
5: Initialize particle with random co-ordinates for each node
6: xik+1 = xik + vk+1

8: Evaluate objective A and initialize gbest and pbest

9: While  > tol :
10: Evaluate new valuesPfor x and v
11: Evaluate objective A
12: Compare
P with k
P − 1 and find new gbest and pbest
