Description
Summary:Objective of the design process are cost effective designs that meet certain expectations with respect to functionality and appearance. Designs are created in an iterative process where analyses of the structural behavior lead to changes in the design. The use of optimization technology makes design changes to be driven directly by analysis results. The application of optimization allows an efficient search for the right combination of design variables for a certain design. Additional use of stochastic methods in order to analyze the design from a statistical standpoint adds robustness to the design and prevents unpleasant surprises in later physical testing.
