Robust Design

We offer robust design studies and solutions for:

1. sensitivity and robustness analysis, with an efficient reduction of the design space
2. metamodeling (response surface modeling), and advanced design-of-experiment techniques
3. multiobjective robust design-parameter optimization
4. process chains (e.g. metal forming à crash) via PRO-CHAIN strategy
5. efficient interpolation and visualization of simulation data on fine grids

We offer the software product:

• DesParO: tool for interactive exploration, visual / automatic analysis and optimization of parameter-dependent applications
• sensitivity and robustness studies
• metamodeling (response surfaces)
• interpolation of parameter-dependent criteria and simulation results, even on highly resolved grids
• multiobjective robust design-parameter optimization

In addition to DesParO, we offer consulting and customer-tailored software solutions.

• device optimization and product configuration
• analysis of process steps and chains, process optimization
• calibration of material models, (history) matching of simulation models

We participate in several projects. See projects.

• automotive industry, e.g. crash simulationmetal forming, casting
• microelectronics and semiconductor physics
• oil and gas reservoir management
• chemistry
• fluid mechanics
• molecular dynamics
• and more

The robustness and quality of production processes and products suffers from variations of

• material properties,
• process parameters,
• variations in geometry,
• and other influences.

Analyzing and controlling the effects of these variations helps to find robust and optimal settings under realistic conditions. Computer-aided robust design and intuitive exploration of design spaces and simulation results thus belong to the most challenging research and development tasks with an extremely high relevance for industry.
