摘要
Advanced multidisciplinary analysis and optimization methods; namely, system sensitivity analysis and nonhierarchical system decomposition, are applied to reduce the cost and improve the visibility of an automated vehicle design synthesis process. This process is inherently complex due to the large number of functional disciplines and associated interdisciplinary couplings. Recent developments in system sensitivity analysis as applied to complex nonhierarchic multidisciplinary design optimization problems enable the decomposition of these complex interactions into subprocesses that can be evaluated in parallel. The application of these techniques may result in very significant computational and calendar time savings, furthermore they may result in significant cost, accuracy, and visibility benefits for the entire design synthesis process.
