Summary
Design optimization is a process aimed at selecting the best design, referred as objective function, satisfying certain requirements, called constraints, by modifying the input variables or design parameters. modeFRONTIER is a software that allows to use data coming from many different sources to evaluate several designs and, through the use of an optimization algorithm, can change the input parameters in order to find a configuration that performs better than the others. The preferred methodology to carry out the optimization is usually the use of numerical analysis, instead of experimental or analytical analysis, because it combines good accuracy of the predicted solution with fewer time and resources needed for the investigation.
