Abstract
Three methods are presented for interfacing analysis software to optimization software to create design software. These methods are referred to as the “conventional interface”, the “pro-gramming-free interface”, and the “generalized interface”. The latter two methods introduce new ideas which are attractive from the user's standpoint. The programming-free interface simplifies the interface process by eliminating the necessity for tlie user to modify the analysis source code. The generalized interface allows one to create a general-purpose design package from a general-purpose analysis package. Support for the methods has been implemented in a software package named OPTDES.BYU. Use of the methods with this package is illustrated with a simple example.
