RecurDyn AutoDesign is a sequential approximate design optimization tool. The development philosophy of RecurDyn AutoDesign makes the use of the optimization easy. AutoDesign provides efficient four design tools by automating all difficult mathematical background.

Various features of RecurDyn AutoDesign

  • Unique characteristics of RecurDyn AutoDesign 
    • Easy and intuitive interface which allows anyone to use with a litte practice
    • The world´s first progressive meta-model algorithm, motivated from Bayesian Global Optimization
    • Easy definition and customization of the design variables and objective functions
    • Robust design optimization techniques to solve the problems which have the different scales of design variables
    • Easy and powerful multi objective optimization algorithm which can be used regardless of the number of objectives
    • Optimization with very small number of trials
      For example, it used only 116 analyses to optimize a design that had 105 design variables and 14 performance indices.
