Abstract

Mechatronic design optimization is a complex process characterized by an important number of requirements, design variables, constraints and objectives. Therefore, it is very important to decompose efficiently the system design problem into a set of sub-problems to minimize the computational cost while profiting from the spatial distribution of design tools, working teams and expertise. However, coordinating design optimization of a distributed design is a real issue to overcome. In this study, a new efficient collaborative optimization approach based on multi-agent paradigm is proposed for mechatronic design optimization. The proposed method is applied to the preliminary design case of an electric vehicle to demonstrate its validity and effectiveness.
