OpenMDAO
OpenMDAO is an open-source framework designed for the design and analysis of complex systems. It is particularly well-suited for multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) problems, where multiple disciplines such as aerodynamics, structures, and propulsion must be integrated and optimized simultaneously. OpenMDAO provides a flexible and modular architecture that allows users to define and connect various components of a system, enabling the simulation and optimization of complex engineering problems.
The framework is built on Python and leverages its extensive libraries and tools, making it accessible to
OpenMDAO supports a variety of optimization algorithms, including gradient-based and gradient-free methods, and can interface with
OpenMDAO is maintained by the OpenMDAO community and is available under an open-source license, encouraging collaboration
