modeFRONTIER is a multi-objective optimization and design environment, written to allow easy coupling to almost any computer aided engineering (CAE) tool, whether commercial or in-house. As the name suggests, modeFRONTIER provides an environment which allows product engineers and designers to integrate their various CAE tools, such as CAD, Finite Element Structural Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software.
Using a variety of state-of-the-art optimization techniques, ranging from gradient-based methods to genetic algorithms, the process or design of interest can be optimized by specifying objectives and defining variables which affect factors such as geometric shape and operating conditions. modeFRONTIER in effect becomes a wrapper around the CAE tool, performing the optimization by modifying the value assigned to the input variables, and monitoring the outputs.
modeFRONTIER can be used for products or process design giving to the design team a tool to rationalise the design process linking specialised simulation software available in the company or at sub-contractor location using intranet/internet network. It is able to exploit any parallel computing platform from PC networks to large mainframes. System Features :
