Every GTgui license includes full access to a built-in optimizer that allows optimization of any combination of model inputs (factors) to maximize, minimize, or target any single or multiple model outputs (responses). Key features include:
- Multiple local and global search algorithms to optimize everything from faster-converging problems to the most complex ones that might include highly non-linear behavior, numerous factors, and multiple constraints
- Expedite long optimization runs by running multiple designs simultaneously through seamless integration with GT-SUITE’s distributed computing
- Explore design trade-offs among multiple competing responses and constraints with the multi-objective Pareto optimization tool and the NSGA-III search algorithm
- Directly optimize GEM3D and COOL3D geometry with integrated linking between these tools and GT-ISE.
