In this technical paper, a example of MDO (Multi-Disciplinary Optimization) technology and its application are presented. MDO is the most effective solution or framework for the successive concurrent engineering and could be a true collaborative engineering environment. In this paper, MDO focused not on a particular design area but on whole design process of development cycle. The example problem employed in this paper is an optimization problem of molding injection and structural analysis with TIMON and NASTRAN.
