Abstract

This paper is about a new approach for concurrent design based on collaborative optimization, a distributed optimization method for multidisciplinary designs. The key idea of the proposed method is to consider the global objective in each subspace optimization problem with an additional interaction channel for coupling variables, while maintaining an easy coordination of design variables for system level problem. The improved collaborative optimisation is applied to two academic test cases to demonstrate its feasibility and validity.
