10/03/2021 | written by Danilo di Stefano Reducing the complexity of design space exploration with sensitivity analysis Engineering problems can involve a large number of design variables. But not all of the inputs have an equal effect on the output. Considering them all can dramatically reduce the efficiency of Design of Experiments (DOE) or optimization studies. In this scenario, you can also experience difficulties when building Response Surface Models (RSM). Most probably your dataset includes needless parameters which make your RSM training unnecessarily more complex.
22/11/2019 | written by Alexander Duggan Complexity, Performance, and Cost: the changing landscape of MDO MDO, which has been used extensively over the past couple of decades to help engineers meet performance requirements, has historically not relied on any cost estimation tool of a reasonable fidelity among its many disciplines. Even though MDO is ready and able to include and introduce cost analysis as another discipline and as an objective, the question is - should we?
21/10/2019 | written by Dirk Pieper Towards enterprise-wide optimization Consistent generation of data and its availability across the enterprise extends the potential of MDO systems. The more data is consistently generated and made accessible in the companies, the more successful and far-reaching the potentials that the MDO systems can leverage become.
06/09/2019 | written by Alexandre Mugnai Advancing ADAS testing with machine learning and optimization techniques ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance Systems ) and AD (Autonomous Driving) systems are the next big frontier for automotive companies. The challenge lays in finding the right balance between minimizing the number of accidents and casualties while maximizing the comfort of traveling in complex conditions.
25/06/2019 | written by Roel Van De Velde Aerospace, tear down these walls The aircraft we board today are almost identical to the ones we boarded fifty years ago. Yes, they are quieter, more fuel-efficient and may make use of new materials, but in essence, nothing has changed. The latest iteration of a popular airliner has folding wingtips but the basic idea was first patented over 100 years ago. One could ask: Has the industry lost its mojo?
