Topology optimization and its seductive biomorphic shapes are what many think of when they hear the word “optimization” in engineering design. But topology optimization is just one kind of structural ...

Design optimization is a powerful technology for automating the search for solutions to engineering problems. But before moving to optimize a chosen design, it can be useful to employ design space ...

Topology optimization refers to software that takes advantage of the design freedoms offered by additive manufacturing. It is a generative approach, so multiple design configurations are created for ...

Modern semiconductor chip design faces growing complexity due to numerous timing scenarios driven by varying operating conditions and physical effects. This complexity is especially pronounced in ...

Ever since the turn of the century, the technological landscape associated with every industry has been ever-evolving. There are a wide variety of engineering disciplines which have surfaced and are ...

What is robust design optimization (RDO), and is it better than standard optimization? In this customer case, we describe a multi-disciplinary optimization of a turbocharger compressor from Ford Motor ...

The course is designed to provide engineering students a view of optimization as a tool for engineering decision making. Students will be given a fundamental introduction to the optimization ...

The power of all these numerical methods is their ability to rationally and rapidly search through design alternatives for the best possible design(s). Parameters in a design that can be varied to ...
