Aug 2011 Bombardier uses modeFRONTIER to optimize high-speed trains for drag reduction and improvement of cross-wind stability. In recent years, the German and Swedish based company has turned to modeFRONTIER to drive the design simulations, in order to try to achieve improved greater drag reduction, increased speed with lower traction power and increased cross wind stability. read on Bombardier uses modeFRONTIER to optimize high-speed trains

Apr 2011 The major aim of the research is to fully characterise the design of modern snowboards in
terms of feel through identification and customisation of their on-snow performance
characteristics. The software package Esteco modeFRONTIER is employed
to determine the optimal design solutions, where the performance targets are derived from
the expert rider survey/interview/test process. read on Customisation of Snowboard Performance Characteristics for Different Riding Styles

Apr 2011 Developing technologies to reduce emissions from these sources is essential for controlling atmospheric levels of CO2 because of the widespread reliance on coal as an inexpensive and abundant energy source. This framework provides the means to link the various modules together in order to provide a holistic, systems perspective of plant wide operations. Results of analyses and optimization scenarios performed with the framework are also presented. read on Optimization of power generation systems

The basic portfolio optimisation theory hinges on thediscrete time, continuous outcome paradigmotherwise known as the mean-variance or Markowitzparadigm. In 1952, Harry Markowitz introduced thisapproach, which is widely used in applicationsinvolving investment portfolios. Mean-variancetheory assumes that among portfolios with the samestandard deviation, the one with the greatest expectedvalue is the most efficient. read on Optimisation on Financial Markets

Dec 2010 The modeFRONTIER multi-objective design optimization approach has been applied in the field of parallel manipulator architectures. The optimization problem is subject to constraints on the manipulator dexterity and stiffness. For a given external wrench, the displacements of the moving platform have to be smaller than given values throughout the obtained maximum regular dexterous workspace. read on Planar Parallel Manipulator Architectures Based
