The invention belongs to the technical field of automobiles, in particular to a method for optimizing the size of an automobile bumper mask based on an equivalent static load method. The invention takes the total mass of the automobile bumper mask as the objective function, the displacement as the constraint, and the thickness of the mask as the design variable to optimize the size of the bumper mask. The present invention requires that the final optimization result not only meets the convergence condition, but also needs to satisfy the displacement constraint condition, and the optimization result is more accurate. In addition, the present invention only calculates the equivalent static load of the time step where the displacement is the largest, and does not need to calculate the equivalent static load of all time steps, and the calculation efficiency is high. The invention uses matlab to integrate all the above functions to realize automatic solution. Except for basic model preprocessing, it is not necessary to open finite element software to solve the model, and the running program directly calls the relevant solver to solve, and the operation is convenient.
