The layout and arrangement of key mechanical components and occupants have to be optimized to meet a prioritized set of attribute targets. modeFRONTIER is used in conjunction with their attribute models to define and understand the trade space efficiently, – investigate the “What-Ifs"...
Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) development provides numerous opportunities for the advantages of an MDO approach to be applied. This includes, but is not limited to, the hardware design phase, the calibration of ballistic models, and the maximization of production yield. Two...
ESTECO experts and Cummins leaders judged the projects based on innovation, creativity and justified improvements in energy usage and sustainability. The competition challenge consisted of the design/sizing of a hybrid microgrid that uses both conventional and...
A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. Cummins employed modeFRONTIER to optimize at siting, sizing and scheduling level.
A design of experiments approach was utilized to generate response surfaces for multiple response parameters and then global optimization was performed. Sensitivity for each response was evaluated for various mounts and optimized mount combinations were picked from the pareto front. The...
The presentation shows the optimization of a typical automated pharmacy with the following objectives: service level agreements (severe customer contracts); drugs that require special handling as Hemophilia (Short shelf life – hours) and Cold packs; order aging (48-72 hours; up to 48...
The presentation explains the COMPOSELECTOR, an innovative and timely project whose aim is to develop, demonstrate and assess an integrated software platform based on a multi-disciplinary, multi-model and multi-field approach for decision-making in the selection, design, and fabrication...
IVECO relies on ESTECO technology to innovate its simulation-driven product development process. IVECO engineers combine the use of CAD and CAE solvers within modeFRONTIER workflow to automatically execute parametric simulations across a wide spectrum of disciplines: structural...
The approaches for mathematical optimization of HEV transmission gear shift schedules and application of constrains are discussed. The software package for multi-objectives genetic algorithm, a Matlab-Simulink based vehicle model, a Matlab based in-house eco-system for...
