Abstract
This study presents the benchmark results of several design frameworks for the purpose of developing an efficient design framework in view of Excel interface. For the benchmark, three optimum design problems are chosen and solved by using the design frameworks. In order to compare the frameworks with each other, the evaluation criteria are specified and modified to fit the problems with Excel interface. Three example cases are solved and compared. The evaluation report is summarized in terms of efficiency, ease of use, internal structure, API, etc. However, the optimization result itself is not focused because the specific optimization algorithm is not our concern. Finally, some suggestions of how to develop an efficient design framework with Excel interface are presented.
