Capabilities of Result Visualization in LS-OPT V4.1 - Demonstrated by Means of Industrial Problems

During the last decade the optimization software LS-OPT has been used for design optimization, for DOE-studies, for system identification and for stochastic investigations in many industrial projects. LS-OPT became over the years a highly sophisticated software tool with very effective and reliable optimization methodologies particular suitable for highly nonlinear problems. This paper illustrates the capabilities of LS-OPT by means of several industrial applications. The focus is on the new post processing features of LS-OPT 4.1 such as visualizing results of multi-objective optimization, multiple load case optimization, sensitivity analysis and the visualization of curve data evaluated on the basis of meta-models. Of course, the objective and the setup of the optimization problems is discussed and demonstrated.
