Optimization Package

Smart Optimization for Your System Design

It contains powerful local and global optimization algorithms to design a system according to your merit functions.
The intuitive and user-friendly interface will guide you through the optimization process and the powerful post-processing tools will enable you to understand the development of merit function values during the optimization process.

Key Features

Mathematical Optimization Algorithms:
  • Nelder-Mead Method
    This Method is also known as Downhill-Simplex and is a fast and estiablished local optimization algorithm.
     
  • Differential Evolutionary Algorithm
    A global optimization algorithm, which can be used in combination with the distributed computing technology provided by VirtualLab Fusion.

 

Familiar Workflow
