Meeting the Challenges of Design Optimization

Engineers use optimization tools to automate finding the best design parameters while satisfying project requirements and evaluating trade-offs among competing designs. Using these tools results in faster design iterations and allows the evaluation of a larger number of parameters and alternative designs compared with manual approaches.

In this talk, you’ll learn how optimization can be used to meet design challenges for different types of models, from detailed finite element analysis to controls and system engineering. You’ll learn how to address challenges from conflicting design criteria and for leveraging available computing resources. You will also learn about new features that make design studies easier to perform and quicker to complete, including simpler ways to set up and run the optimization steps and new solvers designed for computationally expensive black-box models.
