Collaborative Multidisciplinary Design Optimization for Conceptual Design of Complex Products
Year: 2016
Type: book
Abstract: ULTIDESCIPLINARY design optimization (MDO) has developed in theory and practice during the last three decades with the aim of optimizing complex products as well as cutting costs and product development time.Despite this development, the implementation of such a method in industry is still a challenge and many complex products suffer time and cost overruns.Employing higher fidelity models (HFMs) in conceptual design, one of the early and most important phases in the design process, can play an important role in increasing the knowledge base regarding the concept under evaluation.However, design space in the presence of HFMs could significantly be expanded.MDO has proven to be an important tool for searching the design space and finding optimal solutions.This leads to a reduction in the number of design iterations later in the design process, with wiser and more robust decisions made early in the design process to rely on.We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
