Search Results for "global search"

Parametric analysis is often needed for exploring design options, especially when a global optimization method is not available, or the optimization result is in doubt. Parametric analysis can also be applied to all design variables simultaneously, which forms an exhaustive search that, providing that the search grid is fine enough, will guarantee a global optimum solution. In order to perform complex parametric analyses on multiple parameters with more than a handful of alternative values each, a tool to generate commands for the simulation model to run, and to collect results afterwards will be needed. jEPlus has been developed as such a parametric tool for EnergyPlus. ...

This project is dedicated to the optimization of (any) electrical and electronic circuits and components using evolutionary and heuristic algorithms incorporated with SPICE simulators (such as HSPICE, ngSPICE, etc.). We provide Optimer, which is a user graphical interface for circuit design and optimization. Website: https://www.circuitoptimization.com/ E-mail: contact@circuitoptimization.com/

A collection of Fortran 2003, 90 and 77 routines, modules and programs for automatic simulation based global constrained optimisation. The initial application is for FE simulation of elasto-plastic buckling of steel rods aimed at tuning the hardening model. Unix shell scripts are used extensively. High concurrency is achieved with parallel multi-start global search and with parallel MPI FE. Powell's BOBYQA or LINCOA are used (not included in this package).

The Simple Interface for Global Optimization Algorithms allows the specification of arbitrary search/optimization problems, solving of these problems, and the specification and implementation of optimization algorithms like evolutionary algorithms.
