Abstract

In the past, we have seen extensive developments in computational applications in order to improve the efficiency of a design process — e.g. FEA; CAD/CAM; and virtual modelling. In more recent years, much research has been conducted in optimisation. The introduction of optimisation in design is revolutionary in that it aids both the efficiency and creativity of a designer, improving the quality of a design itself. This paper addresses the current status of engineering design and optimisation methods, and defines their relevance and considers their implications for the future of the design process.
