Abstract

In most engineering applications the optimization is employed after the conceptual design is already frozen with the only purpose of perfecting it. Although optimization algorithms capable of optimizing the configuration exist, their application is limited to electronics or control design, while for complex systems the conceptual design is often performed with manual trade off analyses among few options.
