Optimization Library

The Optimization library is fully integrated in Dymola to define and solve nonlinear multi-criteria parameter and trajectory optimization problems mainly based on simulations of Modelica models. The Optimization library offers several sophisticated numerical optimization algorithms for solving different kinds of optimization tasks. The library supports continuous and discrete parameters, several model operating points and optimal control problems. Computational performance of optimization runs is significantly increased by parallel simulations of the Modelica model on multicore machines or a computing cluster. The problem definition and the optimization process is interacitvely controlled by the user. The library is commercially available at LTX and Dassault Systems.
