Engineering optimization explained

Engineering optimization^{[1] [2] [3]} is the subject which uses optimization techniques to achieve design goals in engineering.^{[4] [5]} It is sometimes referred to as design optimization.

Topics

• structural design (including pressure vessel design and welded beam design)
  • shape optimization topology optimization (including airfoils)
• inverse optimization (a subset of the inverse problem)
• processing planning
• product designs
• electromagnetic optimization
• space mapping
• aggressive space mapping^[6]
• yield-driven design
• optimization exploiting surrogates (surrogate model)
