Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO)

Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) is a process used to improve complex systems involving multiple interconnected fields, such as aerodynamics, structure, and control systems. It aims to find the best overall design by simultaneously considering various disciplines, rather than optimizing each separately. By integrating these perspectives, MDO balances trade-offs, enhances performance, reduces costs, and shortens development time. This approach is common in engineering of vehicles, aircraft, and spacecraft, ensuring the final product performs efficiently across all its components while meeting multiple constraints.
