Proposed condensed algorithm structural and parametric optimization of end walls of freight cars. An example of optimization of end wall gondola model 12-119 according to the algorithm proposed. Shows the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is compared with the results of the separately undertaken parametric optimization.
