modeFRONTIER is a software solution for simulation process automation and design exploration developed by ESTECO, an Italian engineering software house. modeFRONTIER leverages advanced optimization algorithms and methodologies and enables engineers to find optimal solutions for complex engineering problems. Its workflow-based environment and multi-objective optimization algorithms are used for streamlining the engineering design process and obtaining improved results.

History (1999-)

modeFRONTIER[1] was released in 1999 by ESTECO as a spin-off of the EU research project on "Design Optimization" called FRONTIER. The initial work on the project started in 1996 with the collaboration of British Aerospace (UK), Parallab (Norway), University of Trieste, University of Newcastle (UK), Daimler-Benz Aerospace (DASA) (Germany), Defense Evaluation and Research Agency (UK), Electrolux-Zanussi (Italy) and Calortecnica (Italy). The project's main objective was to develop a technology for design optimization based on the cornerstone of "design analysis".

In 1999, following the end of the project, ESTECO was founded and released a commercial version of the FRONTIER software, which was later called modeFRONTIER. The software has since then undergone continuous development and improvements based on the company's expertise in multidisciplinary optimization and design exploration.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

In 2017, after a thorough competitive analysis, Zunum Aero selected modeFRONTIER as its preferred MDO platform that can help push the limits of battery technology and electric propulsion.[9] In 2017, modeFRONTIER was also used in the HI-SEAS Mission V, a NASA-funded research project, to help researchers develop system models for sustainable living on Mars.[10] [11] [12] [13]

Over the years, modeFRONTIER has been featured in several research publications, journals and books.[14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26]

Features and capabilities

modeFRONTIER has a set of features that enable users to automate the simulation process, explore the design space, and use data to make informed decisions. Some of its key features include:

Applications

modeFRONTIER is widely used across various industries and engineering disciplines, including but not limited to automotive, aerospace, marine, healthcare, architecture and construction, and energy and environmental engineering.[30] [31] Engineering teams across these sectors use modeFRONTIER to optimize various engineering processes, while reducing complexity, improving product performance and cutting development time.

modeFRONTIER is also broadly adopted in academia and research institutions and has become a fundamental tool for researchers and students working on optimization-related projects.[32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39]
