    1. 1 iSIGHT 9.0: Theory, Concepts and Application Digging a little deeper into theory of iSIGHT’s major optimization techniques and how to control/diagnose their use

    2. 2 Who is Dave Powell? Co founder of Engineous Software Currently chair of Computing Sciences at Elon University Jack of all trades – master of none Civil engineer degree - MS Business degree - MBA Computer Science degree PhD Thesis on Optimization (Interdigitation) Emphasis is application or hands on ( not a theory guy ) Email is dpowell2@elon.edu Web site is www.elon.edu/dpowell2 Click on Optimization 2005 Phone is 336-278-6233

    3. 3 Who is Therese Polito? PhD from Louisiana State University Joined Engineous from Ansys in 1998. Spent 7 years working with customers solving their design problems with iSIGHT and Fiper. Take advantage of her experience breadth, modeling experience and her knowledge of tricks of the trade.

    4. 4 Class Prerequisites Familiarity with iSIGHT If you have not used for a while then Pair up with someone during labs Leverage Therese Polito Leverage Detroit representatives–

    5. 5 Topics Class Organization Nature and Diversity of Nonlinear Programs Lab

    6. 6 Class Organization – Major Topics Deterministic Optimization Models Improving Search Unconstrained Nonlinear Programming Constrained Nonlinear Programming Multiobjective Optimization

    7. 7 Core Algorithms – Packages

    8. 8 References Hard copy handouts or pointers to Selective Optimization Packages from Developers Varied Developer Background Varied Developer Locations Varied Terminology Varied User Friendliness To diagnose a problem, you must speak the developers language and the iSIGHT Language.

    9. 9 Course References Optimization in Operations Research – Rardin - 1998 Numerical Optimization Techniques for Engineering Design with Applications – Vanderplaats - 1999 Optimization Concepts and Applications in Engineering – Belegundu - 1999 Introduction to Engineering Design Optimization – Onwubiko - 2000 Engineering Optimization Theory and Practice – Rao – 1996 Multi-Objective Optimization using Evolutionary Algorithms – Deb – 2001 Practical Management Science – Winston – 2001 Engineering Optimization Methods and Applications – Reklaitis – 1983 Applied Optimization with Matlab Programming, Venkataraman, 2002.

    10. 10 Key Goals Understanding the client side iSIGHT Optimization Model Abstraction Understanding the internal representation of the iSIGHT Optimization Model Understanding the transformation between iSIGHT Model and Third Party Optimization Packages Give you conceptual background to understand options of each technique

    11. 11

    12. 12 Walk Away Info Problem Formulation is critical Scaling Good initial starting point Use multiple starting points Read the optimizer’s diagnostic output
