modeFRONTIER is a multiobjective
optimization and design environment,
written to allow easy coupling to almost
any computer aided engineering (CAE)
tool whether commercial or in-house. As
the name suggests, modeFRONTIER
provides an environment which allows
product engineers and designers to
integrate their various CAE tools, such as
CAD, Finite Element Structural Analysis
and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
software. Using a variety of
state-of-the-art optimization techniques,
ranging from gradient-based methods to
genetic algorithms, the process or design
of interest can be optimized by specifying
objectives and defining variables which
affect factors such as geometric shape and
operating conditions. modeFRONTIER in
effect becomes a wrapper around the
CAE tool, performing the optimization by
modifying the value assigned to the input
variables, and monitoring the outputs.
