In this work, a numerical tool is implemented for size optimization of spatial truss structures. To achieve this goal, the metaheuristic artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm based on the vivid behavior of honey bees is combined with the commercial software package SAP 2000 via its Application Programming Interface (API). Linking the optimization algorithm to SAP 2000 will allow access to the complete finite element library and potential of the commercial software. In order to do so, the numerical tool is developed within the Excel environment by using macros with the Visual Basic Programming Language. A complete picture is then presented to practitioners of the elaborated numerical tool, which can be used in daily design applications. The correct functionality is demonstrated by means of two challenging practical examples. Extension to other optimization applications can be easily adapted

En este trabajo, se implementa una herramienta numérica para la optimización de tamaño de armaduras espaciales. Para este propósito, el algoritmo metaheurístico de abejas (ABC) basado en el comportamiento real de abejas se combina con el programa comercial SAP 2000 por medio de su interface de programación (API). Enlazar el algoritmo de optimización a SAP 2000 permitirá tener acceso a la biblioteca completa de elementos finitos e potencialidad del programa comercial. La herramienta numérica se desarrolla dentro del ambiente de macros de Excel utilizando el lenguaje de programación Visual Basic. Un marco completo de la herramienta elaborada se presenta a los diseñadores, la cual puede ser utilizada en aplicaciones diarias de diseño. El correcto funcionamiento se demuestra por medio de dos ejemplos prácticos desafiantes. Extensión a otras aplicaciones de optimización pueden ser fácilmente adaptadas.
