Find the Optimal Design

摘要

Recognizing the largely untapped value of digital simulation in new product development, more and more engineering organizations are leveraging their existing CAE assets with new, complementary investments in design space exploration and design optimization - technologies and methods that automatically exercise simulation, analysis and modeling applications to rationally and rapidly search through large numbers of design alternatives to identify the best possible designs. These technologies began much the same as CAE, used chiefly by an elite group of experts for their most critical problems. But today, advances in usability, off-the-shelf connectors to all widely used modelers and solvers, and built-in (or easily captured) knowledge that guards against errors and misinterpretation of results are transforming these tools into practical, everyday engineering aids.
