Overview Industry Drivers / Limitations Applying MDO Methods to AEC Research Plan / Team Value Proposition
We Have the Technology Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) tools: used earlier in the design process increasing number of disciplines supported
How is Current Practice Doing? Design iteration metrics New design methods and computational frameworks are required to fully benefit from progress in IT Survey results [1]:
Boeing’s Rapid Conceptual Design (RCD) Process [1] APPLYING MDO METHODS To AEC
Research Goals Develop and apply MDO methods that meet the particular needs of the AEC industry to: Compress design cycle time Explore more alternatives Achieve substantive product quality and performance gains Reduce time to market
Research Goals Develop and apply MDO methods that meet the particular needs of the AEC industry to: Understand coupling between analyses Function with AEC organizations Visualize tradeoffs Improve interoperability
Research Scope Design problems addressed: Disciplines Involved:
Research Phases Proof of Concept – Classroom MDO Scaling MDO for Industry Application Develop General MDA Tools Industry Application of New MDO Methods
Proof of Concept – Classroom MDO (Phase 1) supported by 2008 proposal = 18
Research Schedule(Phase 1) Industry Application = = R+D
Results(Phase 1) Automation Integration Trades
Scaling MDO for Industry Application (Phase 2) supported by 2008 proposal =
Research Schedule(Phase 2) Industry Application = = R+D
Results(Phase 2) $10 Million (Est. Savings)
Develop General MDA Tools(Phase 3) to be supported by this proposal =
Research Schedule(Phase 3) Industry Application = = R+D
Industry Application of MDO (Phase 4) to be supported by this proposal =
Research Schedule(Phase 4) Industry Application = = R+D
Expected Results(Phase 4) Develop and apply MDO methods that meet the particular needs of the AEC industry to: Compress design cycle time Explore more alternatives Achieve substantive product quality and performance gains Reduce time to market
