Preliminary Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (PMDO) project addresses the development and implementation of the Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) methodology in the Concept/Preliminary stages of the gas turbine design process. These initial phases encompass a wide range of coupled engineering disciplines. The PMDO System is a software tool intended to integrate existing design and analysis tools, decompose coupled multidisciplinary problems and, therefore, allow optimizers to speed-up preliminary engine design process. The current paper is a brief presentation of the specifications for the PMDO System as well as a description of the prototype being developed and evaluated. The current assumed e xible architecture is based on three software components that can be installed on different computers: a Java/XML MultiServer, a Java Graphical User Interface and a commercial optimization software.

In order to improve the efficiency and robustness of reliability-based multidisciplinary design optimization (RBMDO), a new collaborative strategy (named C-RBMDO) which integrates performance measure approach (PMA) and concurrent subspace optimization strategy (CSSO) is proposed. Both the mathematical model and optimization procedure are put forward. The traditional triple-level nested flowchart of RBMDO is decoupled with the sequential optimization and reliability assessment (SORA). The deterministic multidisciplinary design optimization and the multidisciplinary reliability analysis are executed by CSSO and PMA respectively. Finally, the proposed method is verified through the design example of gear transmission.
