Context
• Complex engineering problems use high fidelity simulation models and expensive experiments
• Ever increasing competition imposes time and budget constraints on the development of new products
• Need to infer maximum amount of information
- from limited number of simulation runs
- obtain competitive solutions

Problem
• We never achieve 100 % accurate simulation or experiments
- if they are high fidelity, they are expensive.
• Problem scale keeps increasing
- number of design parameters and data size
• Design is progressive
- The user initially does not know proper parameter bounds, constraints, what to model and what to ignore

What we can trade in for finding an “optimal solution”
• Quantitative accuracy of performance is not always of primary importance but relative merit is
• Very often a “competitive” solution is all we need, not necessarily the best possible solution
- Especially true if the problem is multi objective or highly constrained (best difficult or expensive to achieve)
- Overall sound solution important in safety critical applications (best too good to be true)
• The point is to have different shades of optimality

Why accept such relaxation?
• “Best” is capricious - Predicting World Cup top 8 teams is easier than predicting the winner.
- Engineers can usually agree on good designs but may disagree on the “best one”.
• “Best” depends - We are usually uncertain of what we mean by best.
- Optimization problem set up is an art, not science.
• “Competitive” is intuitive - Humans are good at discerning it
- We could allow human expertise and past statistical data to take part in the search for solution

Large Scale MDO Challenges
• Large design space to explore involving heavy sampling
• Risk to linearize design space by reducing sampling
• High probability to violate constraints
• Challenge to bound a confidence region that fulfills all constraints AND improves the design
• Access to an adequate environment - Visualize the data and rely on metrics to validate the optimum
• Hardware path - Increase CPU Services with HPC Cluster
- Increase RAM to store large matrix
• Simulation Solver Path - Enable analytic sensitivities directly in the solver

How to do it?
