| Abstract |
Although the aeronautical industry has significantly benefited from computational optimization tools during the last decades, current
approaches have serious limitations. First, optimization is usually restricted to parametric shape and sizing optimization. Second, even
though more powerful optimization tools have been used, e.g., topology optimization in the structural design of the Airbus A380, it is
usually restricted to a reduced set of deterministic load configurations and objective functions, and robustness and reliability of designs
cannot be assessed through computational tools. The main goal of SOFAST is to develop new algorithms and computational
mplementations to perform robust multi-objective topology optimization efficiently exploiting HPC resources, to enable their application to
optimal aircraft design.
The expensive computational cost and complex CAD-CAE interaction will be circumvented by advanced numerical tools like highly
scalable embedded solvers with adaptive mesh refinement.
The SOFAST results are expected to boost the use of computational optimization tools in the aeronautical industry, which, in turn,
will translate into reduced fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions. This will have a strong impact in the fourth societal
challenge through the development of a new technology for the design of aircraft structures. |
