Development of Agent Module of Integrated Design System for Centrifugal Pump Design Optimization

원심펌프 최적설계를 위한 통할설계 시스템의 Agent 모듈 개발

A pump design system was constructed by several integrating in-house programs and commercial softwares to design and evaluate centrifugal pumps. An agent-based prototype framework has been developed for collaborative design and optimization of a centrifugal pump. This paper introduces the feasible technology needed to construct a pump design system based on software agents. The integrated design system, developed in the present study, was used in designing a centrifugal pump and modifying its impeller shape by using optimization processes to increase the pump performance.
