Abstract
This article discusses tools that are used for the systematic optimization of engineering designs. It focuses on the practical application of optimization technology in a computer-aided engineering environment. The article presents numerical optimization algorithms and provides some background on how these algorithms make decisions when searching for the optimal design. It also provides information on structural optimization, topology optimization, materials processing optimization, multidisciplinary optimization, and global optimization.
