Multidisciplinary Design Optimization

What it is about

You will learn how engineering design problems are formulated and solved as mathematical optimization problems. The module provides fundamentals and practice of multidisciplinary design optimization, including model creation, selection of suitable algorithms, and their application to efficiently search for admissible, physically meaningful designs.

What you will be able to do

• understand model-based design tasks as optimization problems
• know mathematical foundations and relevant optimization algorithms
• select and apply suitable solution algorithms
• convert practical design tasks into mathematical problems
• implement the algorithm practically and solve optimization tasks on a computer
• recognize current research in the field

What the module consists of

• VorlesungPresentation of theoretical foundations and examples; lecture materials online
• ÜbungDeepening of concepts and practical implementation through computer exercises
