... order (TO) is obtained with topological sort algorithm. This TO determines the sequence of the variation analysis. In Section 4, formulas for the three types of vertices in MCG are derived. In Section 5, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified with a wing box. Conclusions and future work...
