“…At several points within the optimization process the user has access to the database and may input data manually for given discipline data or for a particular case as represented by the man in the loop figures. The MDOPT system was developed as an enhancement and extension to the original 3DOPT 6 system. The main components of the 3DOPT system and process steps in an optimization are shown in Figure 2.…”

A Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDOPT) framework has been developed for air vehicle design and analysis. The developed MDOPT system contains a collection of technology modules for performing optimization studies by means of a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and combining robust numerical optimization schemes with higher order computational analysis. A variety of multidisciplinary objective and constraint functions are available, including aerodynamic, weight, mission performance, and stability and control characteristics. This paper is intended to provide an overview of the MDOPT development and test case results for a generic fighter configuration, funded under an Air Force Contract, F33615-98-2-3014, with Boeing cost match funds. The period of development was established with contract activity beginning in September 1998 and ending April 2002. Continued MDOPT development and design applications are being pursued within Boeing using internal funding. I.
