Abstract

In this research, a combination of global-local optimization with the possibility of multi-objective trade-off solutions is considered for vehicle configuration design. At global-level, many potential configurations are created as initial designs using cellular-division method for design space exploration. At local-level, level-set method optimizes these initial shapes for strict constraint satisfaction. A combination of these two approaches with their individual strengths are synergistically integrated for evolving a configuration from an open-ended design space for better optima. This research demonstrates the framework using several benchmark problems of topology optimization.
