The direct optimization needs a well-suited model. The system modelling provides lightweight models allowing the optimizer a large number of objective-function in order to ensure a fast convergence.
But this need of speed is not enough, in fact, for highly constrained problems in engineering, it is important to have the information sensitivity of the model, i.e. the partial derivatives of calculated parameters ( output) from the input parameters. To do this, we have developed several methods:
Symbolic derivation of equations of the model and some algorithms (integral electromagnetic models, implicit function theorem, ...),
Automatic differentiation of computer programs
All these methods are implemented and used in the software suite CADES.
