Design Optimization is one of the research fields that have made significant progress over the past 10 to 20 years. The number of research reports at conferences has increased year by year, and optimization software is being commercialized in various fields. The design optimization methodologies that have been developed in this way are often systematized in terms of optimization algorithms. In practice, however, it is not easy to immediately apply the optimization to practical works even if one has mastered many optimization algorithms. Because of the variety and complexity of problems in the practical design field, model construction and problem formulation processes and post-optimization analysis is quite important in design optimization. This paper discusses what future developments are needed to effectively utilize design optimization methods.
