Channel: OpenMDAO
Date: 20/01/2020

Dr. Mathieu Balesdent uses OpenMDAO for conceptual design or launch vehicles, including both vehicle design and trajectory optimization. They use a mixture of gradient based and gradient free methods. They also use a variety of surrogate modeling tools. 

This talk includes a demonstration of WhatsOpt, an open-source model building GUI developed by ONERA.
