1084. The Use of Evolutionary Algorithms

      Product and System Optimization (PSO) The Use of Evolutionary Algorithms The specific technology examined in depth was the use of Evolutionary Algorithms in the context of Product and System Optimization. Companies who offer this technology or who work with it were invited to present their view in the context of a round-table discussion in order to target the following objectives: A general illustration of Evolutionary Algorithms applied to Product and System Optimization. The acquisition of requirements and contribution for the preparation of “best practice” document. Suggestion from the company/organization which can be regarded as some form of validation that could...more

1085. Robust Design Optimization in Virtual Product Development

      Robust Design Optimization in Virtual Product Development This NAFEMS publication reviews the state of the art in the application of Robust Design Optimisation (RDO) methods for virtual product development. Further valuable insights on RDO are provided in the NAFEMS publication “ How to Optimise Under Uncertainty ” by Mariapia Marchi. The authors surveys the rapidly evolving discipline of CAE-based Robust Design Optimisation that has been made possible by the phenomenal increase in computer processing power seen over recent decades. The complexity of component design originates from a number of interacting factors. The design engineer has to find a practical resolution to...more

1086. Product Data Management and The Engineering Analysis Environment

      Product Data Management and The Engineering Analysis Environment The document provides a basic introduction to Product Data Management (PDM) and Configuration Management (CM) for people working in the Engineering Analysis arena. It describes how the integration of all these areas could bring business benefits. Configuration management is the process for establishing and maintaining the consistency of a product’s physical and functional attributes with its design and operational information throughout its life, using disciplined change management. PDM systems are software applications that embody many CM concepts to enable users to manage product information and its configuration....more
