This Unit instructs students in numerical optimisation methods and architectures for executing automated multi-disciplinary sizing of aerospace vehicles. The unit is segmented into four areas of instruction:
1. The design process and requirements for numerical synthesis;
2. Design search and optimisation methods;
3. Advanced multi-disciplinary sub-space simulation and architectures;
4. Design space sensitivities and synthesised solution robustness.
A series of practical examples in conjunction with well-documented case studies will complement the presented material. The coursework emphasises a hands-on approach comprising assignments and a group project.
Upon successful completion of the Unit the student will:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, including lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
