Abstract: | Mathematical programming provides general tools for engineering design optimization. We present numerical models for simultaneous analysis and design optimization (SAND) and multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) represented by mathematical programs. These models are solved with numerical techniques based on the feasible arc interior point algorithm (FAIPA) for nonlinear constrained optimization. Even if MDO is a very large optimization problem, our approach reduces considerably the computer effort. Several tools for very large problems are also presented. The present approach is very strong and efficient for real industrial applications and can easily interact with existing simulation engineering codes. |
