An optimization-based approach for supporting early product architecture decisions

摘要: An important aspect in designing the product architecture of turbo fan engine structural components is load path and flow components. We present an approach for deciding preliminary carrying configuration or LCC (arrangement elements to carry loads) a generic, static structure during early design phases. The LCC, which part aspect, withstands multiple cases operation. Each such case can be represented as interface stiffness optimization problem. Our involves individual consideration number problems (load cases), down-selecting small interesting problems, running coordinated down-selected using non-hierarchical coordination. yields compromise solution that considered starting point detail integrated product. This may allow better resources allocation, obtained satisfies on structure.
