What is Optimization? Optimal Conventional Baseline Baseline Specifications Specifications design design Analyze or Analyze experiment Evaluate Change Evaluate Change objective and design performance design constraints Is the Is the design design No No good? optimal? Yes Yes Final design Final design Design Variables x (array)
Objective Function J ( x ) or f ( x ) (scalar)
Multidisciplinary Optimization Simultaneous: Sequential: Aerodynamic Optimization Optimizer Structural Optimization Aerodynamic Structural Analysis Analysis Constraints c ( x ) ≤ 0 (array)
Bound constraints Linear constraints Nonlinear constraints Optimization Problem Statement J ( x ) minimize x ∈ R n with respect to subject to c j ( x ) ≤ 0 , j = 1 , 2 , . . . , m
