Description Of The Methodology Of The Automated Optimization Process

The article deals with optimization methods, their basic properties and the division. Particular emphasis is placed on numerical methods that are suitable to optimize the problem with a large number of design variables and are relatively robust. The methodology by which a construction can be optimized by the automated process is also described. The process consists of linking commercial programs, namely Creo Parametric, ANSYS Workbench and MATLAB. The program Creo secures cad data; ANSYS Workbench serves to calculate FEM simulations; and MATLAB manages an optimization process based on inputs and outputs and creates the interface between programs and provides the flow of information. Also, the article describes how to create the link between these programs. Thanks to this connection, it is possible to automate the optimization process by creating a program in MATLAB environment and also to select and implement a suitable optimization algorithm according to the optimization task.
