VOLTA workshop

Master Business Process Management in VOLTA for collaborative design optimization

9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
This workshop will involve hands-on practice sessions: please remember to bring your own laptop.

In this workshop, you'll gain hands-on experience navigating VOLTA's core functionalities for SPDM and design optimization. We will walk you through the entire process from simulation models automation to an optimized design all within an intuitive collaborative web-environment empowered with data analytics.

You will get familiar with VOLTA’s Business Process Management (BPM) technology to map business processes. We will demonstrate how to automate human interactions and integrate simulation execution in a business process workflow, including design optimization.

This workshop is ideal for anyone who needs real time collaboration with peers on simulation-driven design projects in real-time.

You will learn how to:
  • Exchange cross-team simulation data.
  • Make simulation workflows available to broader audience of engineers.
  • Scale up design optimization across the organization.
  • Turn simulation data into actionable insights for collaborative decision-making.
  • Model engineering design processes with BPMN 2.0 workflow editor.
  • Automate human-in-the-loop and simulation tasks in the business process workflow.
  • Execute and monitor engineering design processes.
You will learn how to:
  • Efficiently generate RSMs with the least amount of data.
  • Judge and pick the perfect RSM for your engineering problem.
  • Take advantage of Machine Learning algorithms.

Unleash the power of surrogate modeling

9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
This workshop will involve hands-on practice sessions: please remember to bring your own laptop.

In this workshop, you will develop the knowledge and trust needed to generate and use Response Surface Models (RSM) to tackle the challenges of heavy simulations or other engineering problems. This workshop is suitable whether you are new to these methodologies or are already an experienced modeFRONTIER user.

You will learn how to:
  • Efficiently generate RSMs with the least amount of data.
  • Judge and pick the perfect RSM for your engineering problem.
  • Take advantage of Machine Learning algorithms.
You will learn how to:
  • Select the right approach for your multidisciplinary and multiobjective optimization problem.
  • Choose among a full suite of deterministic, stochastic and heuristic algorithms.
  • Use the self-initializing or autonomous algorithms mode.

modeFRONTIER workshop

Make use of Python in modeFRONTIER for AI-data driven modeling

1:30 - 3:00 PM

In this workshop, you will gain a deep dive into the modeFRONTIER Python ecosystem. Specifically, you will learn how to leverage your Python scripting skills to create custom simulation workflows as well as perform Machine Learning-based data analysis and predictive modeling in modeFRONTIER. This workshop is designed for advanced users willing to exploit the powerful and widely diffused Python libraries to interact with any components of the design project such as tables, RSM, charts, algorithms and process.

You will learn how to:
  • Automate specific solvers and drive simulation chains in modeFRONTIER workflow (Cypython node).
  • Exchange data between Python interpreters and modeFRONTIER (pyFRONTIER).
  • Use built-in Python algorithms to create a set of DOE design configurations (pyDOE).
  • Perform RSM analysis with external Python ML libraries.
  • Import your own Python-based algorithm and use it as native modeFRONTIER optimizer(pySCHEDULER).
  • Post-process optimization results (pyCONSOLE).
You will learn how to:
  • Perform optimization with data affected by uncertainty.
  • Optimize the mean value and minimize the standard deviation of the objective functions.
  • Estimate percentile values of objectives and constraints.
modeFRONTIER workshop

Manage uncertainties with robust and reliability-based optimization

1:30 - 2:30 PM

In this workshop, you will get an introduction to how modeFRONTIER’s stochastic robust design approach allows you to find so-called “robust” (i.e., more stable at the variation of the uncertain parameters) optimal solutions. This workshop is dedicated to advanced users who want to benefit from robust and reliability-based design optimization strategies to select designs that perform better in the real-world and have the lowest failure rate possible.

You will learn how to:
  • Perform optimization with data affected by uncertainty.
  • Optimize the mean value and minimize the standard deviation of the objective functions.
  • Estimate percentile values of objectives and constraints.
