Within the scope of this thesis, a novel numerical method for the generation of optimized cutting patterns for lightweight structures made of highly nonlinear materials (e.g. CFRPs, textile fabrics) is presented. The developed Variation of Reference Strategy is based on an unconstrained optimization problem, which minimizes the total elastic potential energy within the target structure. In addition, a novel approach for modeling the structural response of textile fabrics on a macroscopic level is introduced.
