13 Interactive Design Optimization
Upon completion of this chapter, you will be able to:
• Explain the kind of interaction possible with an optimization algorithm
• Use optimization software in an interactive mode, if it offers such facilities
• Use an optimization algorithm in a manual interactive mode, if appropriate
Optimization techniques can–to some extent–automate the tedious trial-and-error aspects of the design process, thus allowing the engineer to concentrate on the more creative aspects of designing systems. They harness a computer’s speed with computational algorithms to methodically generate the efficient (not just satisfactory) designs that are needed in today’s competitive world. Optimization techniques can be applied to ...
