Improved Multidisciplinary Optimization and its Practical Usage at Porsche AG
In the automotive industry, the simulation-based design and optimization of vehicle structures needs to combine requirements from a number of different engineering disciplines. Multidisciplinary optimization (MDO) is a term that is used to summarize approaches that aim at integrating all relevant disciplines and finding optimal compromises between them. Due to [...]
Multidisciplinary design optimization of ship hulls
The multi-disciplinary design optimization is an important technology for ship engineering. Especially the combination of complex constraints, various target functions and time consuming simulations (e.g. CFD) requires the development of new algorithms. The new Constraint Efficient Global Optimization (CEGO) method meets these requirements. As a result, the resistance of the [...]
