Design Optimisation GENESIS A fully integrated finite element analysis / design optimisation software package. It allows for detailed analysis of design problems as well as topology and topometry optimisation capabilities to name just a couple.  For more information on GENESIS and how it can optimise designs click here.    VisualDOC A software system that simplifies adding optimisation to almost any design task. It uses a powerful, intuitive graphical user interface along with state-of-the-art optimisation algorithms to set-up, solve, and post-process your design problem. For more information click here.  DOT DOT is a general purpose numerical optimisation software package which can be used to solve a wide variety of non-linear optimisation problems.  For more information click here.  BIGDOT BIGDOT is intended to solve very large, non-linear, constrained problems whether continuous, discrete or mixed variable.
