GLOBAL OPTIMIZATION PLATFORM
Some features:
Free software.
Existing in Graphical
Interface and Textual versions.
Classical methods
implemented: steepest descent, genetic algorithms, Newton…
Improvement of those methods
by hybridization and parallelization.
Complete graphical tools (1D, 2D
and 3D, response surfaces, histories, movies…).
Full control during optimisation
process (points are saved, prevent functional errors…).
Interaction with industrial codes
(C++/COMSOL…).
Validated on various industrial
problems (finance, fluid dynamic, combustion…).
