Abstract
A menu-driven, multi-windowing design workstation for interactive design optimization is presented. As an alternative to a black-box optimization approach, the design workstation supports a four-step interactive design methodology that consists of (1) displaying design sensitivity information; (2) carrying out what-if studies; (3) determining trade-offs; and (4) performing interactive design optimization. Graphics capabilities of established finite element pre- and post-processors are exploited in providing for visualization of results generated during the interactive design process, within a graphics workstation environment. By using recently-developed methods of continuum design sensitivity analysis and a local database, established finite element analysis codes can be used for structural analysis and adjoint load reanalysis.
