Including Principles of Set-Based Design in Multidisciplinary Design Optimization

Abstract

The traditional point-based design process is highly iterative and can be inefficient, particularly for for multidisciplinary problems.Set-based design constitutes a design space reduction process that offers improvements over the point-based approach.In set-based design, designers begin with a broad set of values for the design variables, then gradually narrow the sets as more information becomes available.The principles of set-based design are reflected in the development of a new multidisciplinary design optimization algorithm.The algorithm returns the optimal choice for the reduced design space, instead of a single specific value for each design variable.The new multidisciplinary design optimization algorithm inspired by set-based design was used in a multidisciplinary ship design application.
