Adjustment of the MDAO Problem Formulation using Sensitivity Analysis to Reduce the Computational Cost within Aircraft Design

The increasing complexity of aeronautical systems and the prevailing focus to develop sustainable technological innovations for future aircraft configurations and technologies have emphasized a particular demand on advancing the Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) technique. MDAO addresses the complex synergy within...

Automated Execution Process Formulation using Sequencing and Decomposition Algorithms for Collaborative MDAO

With Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) a fully automated aircraft design analysis is set up and optimization algorithms are used to obtain better designs by balancing the synergy between components. In the EU project AGILE, a new methodology and framework were developed to make the MDAO approach more accessible to...
