ABSTRACT = {In this paper, the authors present a new evolutionary structural optimization method based on FE modeling using identical cubic elements for optimizing strength and dynamics characteristics of structures. The method is developed from the previous ones([1\hbox {}]-[3\hbox {}]), and carries out the size and topological shape optimization to satify the strength against external force and inertia force of itself and to control the natural frequencies of the structure. The method gives us the lightest structure satisfying the requirement about the strength and dynamic characteristics. The outline of the method is presented first, and a basic case study about a bridge model is shown.},
