摘要
A technique is described for parameterizing geometries in a manner suitable for numerical simulations used in design optimization. The new methodology, referred to as "control grids," is flexible, easy to use, extendable, and applicable to multidisciplinary design optimization. Although significantly different than free-form deformation, the present method provides many similar capabilities. Comparisons between the current technique and free-form deformation are provided to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The new parameterization technology is described and demonstrated in both two and three dimensions for single and multidisciplinary applications.
