modeFRONTIER 2025R2 and VOLTA Out Now

ESTECO reports that the new VOLTA and modeFRONTIER 2025R2 Release is now available. VOLTA introduces metadata template import and export, simplifying metadata management. modeFRONTIER comes with MUSA, a new multi-strategy island-based algorithm designed to enhance the exploration and exploitation capabilities of traditional metamodeling and optimization techniques

Release Highlights

Build an optimization approach with the new MUSA multi-strategy island-based algorithm, which is available in modeFRONTIER. It enables users to create custom design optimization approaches by combining traditional metamodeling and optimization techniques. Its island-based architecture divides the optimization process into subpopulations (islands), each running distinct algorithms. This capability enables you to select and integrate a variety of modeFRONTIER’s algorithms—such as genetic, gradient-based methods, or response surface models—into a customized strategy. By integrating a synergistic approach with parallel processing facilitated by the island structure, MUSA enables customization of its strategy to suit the requirements of any optimization task.

Automatic Tagging for Python Scripts

If using the CPython or Python node, the task of tagging the parameters becomes more convenient with automatic parameter detection, ESTECO notes. With a click, all potential parameters are extracted, allowing users to select exactly what is needed.

New Parameter Chooser in modeFRONTIER

The new Parameter Chooser allows you to gain control in linking your model parameters to the modeFRONTIER workflow, because of the following features:

• Side-by-side visualization: compare inputs and outputs.
• Flexible workflow building: view and link any data node in the workflow.
• Streamlined navigation and filtering: quickly find and connect nodes and parameters.
• Automatic linking of parameters and nodes: reduce time and effort.
• Enhanced visualization of linked items.
• VOLTA simplifies metadata management

System administrators now can import metadata templates, allowing them to quickly integrate new configurations into their systems. Additionally, they can export a complete list of metadata templates, providing an overview of all available configurations. This streamlined process makes it faster and more efficient for administrators to manage and transfer configurations across different environments.

For other new features, refer to the release notes included in the software updates.
