Abstract
This paper presents a modular optimisation toolbox based on
genetic algorithms, tuned for engineering design. The tool box
designed to be interfaced with traditional engineering analysis
packages, and evaluating the possible solution of the optimisation
problem in parallel over a distributed network of heterogenous
workstations. The optimiser was applied to a high-dimensional
optimisation problem for gas turbine combustor
preliminary design where the aims were, first, to achieve the
same performance targets as traditional design, and in a second
step to surpass the manual design.
