FEA-Opt Technology Introduces SmartDO

By DE Editors

FEA-Opt Technology (Taiwan), a CAE consultancy and design optimization specialist firm, introduces SmartDO 1.1. SmartDO (smart design optimization system) has been developed and tested since 1994 and was originally used as an internal code for providing consultancy services from FEA-Opt Technology.

SmartDO specializes in CAE-based numerical optimization, where the meshing noise is a problem. Such noise usually "traps" the design point in the local design space. Many packages have used stochastic approaches, like the Genetic Algorithms, to try to overcome such problems.

According to a company press release, with the proprietary technology called the Response Smoothing Technology, SmartDO is able to smooth out the noise caused by meshing and package integrations. Solutions obtained from other optimization packages can usually be further improved by SmartDO using nonlinear programming techniques (NLP).

SmartDO also comes with the Robust Genetic Algorithms (RGA) for users that prefer stochastic approach. The RGA in SmartDO has adaptive penalty function, automatic schema, automatic population and generation number calculation, and absolute descent convergence.

The core engine of SmartDO has been successfully applied in different industrial design, including civil engineering, medical, aerospace and 3C products, in the field of structural, electrical, CAD and CFD.
