Optimize Your Product. Increase Your Performance. Automate
Your Design/CAE System
SmartDO was
on real-world industrial design since 1992. It has been applied on the following
field
- Life prolonging of semi-conductor
component
- Keratotomy Surgeries
- Civil structure and resident roof optimization
(sizing, shaping and topology)
- Life prolonging and weight
reduction for the components of gas turbine engines
- Enhancement for the
performance of the fluid power system
- Weight reduction and
strength increase of the nuclear heavy-duty lifting hook
- Performance optimization
of the shock absorbing mechanism
- Weight reduction of the air cargo flood
deck
- Performance optimization of the thermoelectric
generator
- Weight reduction of the lower A-Arm
of the armored tank
- Performance curve optimization for the
keyboard rubber dome.
The Leader of Smart Global Optimization Technology
|
SmartDO focuses
on the practical global optimization technology. Either with
the Gradient-Based NLP or the Genetic Algorithms, SmartDO has
been applied on may different industrial application.
The world-leading
Response Smoothing Technology in SmartDO allows the users to
search global optimum with the gradient-based approach.
Additionally, SmartDO can eliminate the numerical noise caused
by meshing, discretization, and other phenomena during numerical
analysis.
The Robust Genetic
Algorithms in SmartDO is powered by the technologies
of Adaptive Penalty Function, Automatic Schema Representation, Automatic
Population and Generation Number Calculation, Adaptive and Automatic
Cross-Over Probability Calculation, Absolute Descent. This makes
SmartDO much more powerful and efficient than other packages on
the market.

Open Architecture, User Programmable
SmartDO uses
Tcl/Tk as its basic platform, which makes its architecture highly open and
user programmable.
In today's competitive environment, the user programmable features allow
you to differenetiate with your competitor, and accumulate your know-how
and experience in the script.
Error Tolerant. Restart From The Interrupted Point
SmartDO is
highly error tolerant. The user can usually restart from where the caculation
is interrupted, in case of unpredicted incident or system shutdown.
SmartDO can also ignore the noise or unconvergence during the CAE analysis
without human judgement.
Engineering Lifecycle Integration
The open architecture
of Tcl/Tk in SmartDO make the Engineering CAx Lifecycle Integration possible.
Through the building of CAx Cycle Integration, SmartDO can reduce the
human error during the CAx design cycle, and further parameterize, automate
and optimize the design process.

With
Gradient-Based RCFDM, the Robust Genetic Algorithms and the
Smart Particle Swarm
|
With both
Gradient-Based NLP and the Genetic Algorithms, you can switch
between these two categories of solvers or use them simultaneously.
The Genetic
Algorithms can be used to solve problems not suitable for the
gradient-based solver. And the Gradient-Based
NLP solver provide a more efficient and accurate way of getting
the optimum. These two algorithms together make SmartDO a practical
and powerful optimizer.
The Smart Particle Swarm is a solver
with the benefits of both the Robust Genetic Algorithms and the Gradient-Based
approaches. While it starts the global optimization with multiple initial
design points, each individual design (which is called the "particle")
will exchange design history and "experience" with each other. What is
unique is, the calculation of the new search direction is a semi-gradient
approach.

Concurrent Sizing, Shaping and Topology Optimization
|
Because there
are various types of design variables available in the Robust Genetic
Algorithms of SmartDO, the users can perform Concurrent
Sizing, Shaping and Topology Optimization in a stable and efficient
fashion.
The problem
of Concurrent Sizing, Shaping and Topology Optimization usually requires
intensive numerical effort. With the Smart
Heuristic Search Technology, SmartDO is able to avoid unnecessary
calculation and save considerable amount of computational time.
|
Control Panel GUI
|
Control Panel
acts as the the optimization process integrator. With the tasks and connections
layout as graphical flowchart on the panel, the user can easily understand
and control the design optimization process. Also, all actions and settings
are just few clicks away. The Control Panel can be used to
- Overlook the layout
of the design optimization process
- Set up controlling parameters
- Integrate with external
programs
- Test the integrated
engineering cycle
- execute optimization
- Review the optimization
result
|
SmartScripting GUI
|
SmartScripting
is a GUI for generating Tcl/Tk script automatically. The user can access
the programmable feature of SmartDO by answering questions in the SmartScripting
GUI, and SmartScripting will generate Tcl/Tk scripts accurately with convenience.
With SmartScripting, programming with SmartDO is easy and efficient. SmartScripting
now has many frequently used template built in, for example
- Sibstitute the design
variable
- Call an external program
- Delete files
- Open/close a file to
read
- Search for a string
and react
- Retrieve values from
a string
- Mathematical expression
