MDO(Multidisciplinary Design and Optimization) framework can be an integrated environment or a system, which is for synthetic and simultaneous analysis and design optimization in various design fields of aerospace systems. MDO framework has to efficiently use and integrate distributed resources such as various analysis codes, optimization codes, CAD tools, DBMS and etc. in heterogeneous environment, and to provide graphical and easy-to-use user interfaces. Also, its development method can be changed by design objects and development environment. In this paper, we classify MDO frameworks into three types according to the development environments: Single PC-based, PLinda-based and Web Services-based MDO framework. And, we compare and analyze these frameworks.
