This Unit instructs students in numerical optimisation methods and architectures for executing automated multi-disciplinary sizing of aerospace vehicles. The unit is segmented into four areas of instruction: 1. The design process and requirements for numerical synthesis; 2. Design search and optimisation methods; 3. Advanced multi-disciplinary sub-space simulation and architectures; 4. Design space sensitivities and synthesised solution robustness. A series of practical examples in conjunction with well-documented case studies will complement the presented material. The coursework emphasises a hands-on approach comprising assignments and a group project.
