Opting for Optimizing

摘要

In part 1 of this article (see page 42 of the May 2012 issue), we discussed how optimization helps engineers take their designs to the next level by systematically finding design alternatives. We looked at optimization tools from VR&D, SIMULIA, Red Cedar Technology, and Collier Research. This month, we continue the discussion by examining solutions from Altair, Sigma Technology, ESTECO, Phoenix Integration, Optimal Solutions Software and Openeering.
