(O) Original structure which is a subject to multiple possible loads. (1)–(3) A sample optimum PSO remodeling for a single impact at the marked nodes,  kg,  m/s (1), and  kg,  m/s (2, 3). (X) A PSO remodeled structure optimized for multiple impact classes, . The triangles in (X) represent places of potential impacts.
