Design Optimization (ME41613) + Engineering Design Optimization (ME60079)

This document discusses design optimization and introduces the basic components of the design optimization process. It explains that analysis/design variables are classified as integers, real numbers, or continuous functions. Integer variables represent things like the number of bolts. Real number variables can be properties like thickness. Continuous functions can define geometry variations. The analysis model uses these variables to evaluate design performance through analysis functions.
