A Knowledge-Based Approach to Problem Formulation for Product Model-Based Multidisciplinary Design Optimization in AEC
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cost-effectiveness and accuracy of a multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) process is highly dependent on designers’ ability to flexibly formulate the optimization problem for specific challenges. Designers need to rapidly modify how object parameters are assigned to groupings of objects in the product model. Our research has developed a Reference-Based Optimization Method (RBOM) to enable this type of flexible problem formulation. However, the responsibility still falls on the designer to manage the problem formulation and MDO process, which can lead to inefficient and costly design decisions. By means of artificial intelligence, in particular knowledge-based systems, these potential barriers to MDO adoption in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry could be mitigated, resulting in more efficient design processes and, ultimately, energy-efficient built environments.

Genetic Algorithm-Based Optimization Approach for an Uncapacitated Single Allocation P-hub Center Problem with more realistic cost structure
A p-hub center network design problem is definition of some nodes as hubs and allocation of non-hub nodes to them wherein the maximum travel times between any pair of nodes is minimized. The distinctive feature of this study is proposing a new mathematical formulation for modeling costs in a p-hub center problem. Here, instead of considering costs as a linear function of distance, for the first...
