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.
