Reference: OPT-A

Calibrate, optimize and make a robust design
Level: Advanced
Duration: From 2 to 4 days (depends on usage level and customer needs)
Audience: Engineers using numerical models; advanced CAE software users
Objectives: Design Optimization, calibration or stochastic analysis applied to any numerical model.
Prerequisites: Good skills on the software to be launched by PAM-OPT in batch mode.
 
Description: This course is a combination of presentations and hands-on exercises, with theoretical explanations first and then a workshop.
Course content:

The following training modules are offered. A first training will generally include modules 1 and 2 or 3.

  • 1 – Management of launched executable programs
    - Design or Stochastic Parameters related to executable program launch
    - Data retrievals and data treatments
    - Parallel calls / remote platforms
  • 2 – Optimization
    - Needed module: 1
    - Algorithm explanations
    - Methodologies
    - Tests
  • 3 – Stochastic analysis
    - Needed module: 1
    - Methodologies
    - Tests
  • 4 – Robust Design
    - Needed modules: 1, 2 and 3
