Abstract
Today, numerical simulations are most commonly carried out by the designers to check whether the components satisfy the design requirements or not. In current design iteration scheme, in order to obtain a response surface, numbers of simulation are required. Furthermore, each modification of the geometry requires a new mesh generation. Using variational approach, described in this paper, the simulation results become explicit function in terms of the design variables. The approach allows an easy implementation of optimization simulation within the standard design process.
