Abstract

In this “state- of- the- art” paper the place and role of optimum design in product development process is described, based on the definition of products, definition of product quality and product qualification levels. Most important product characteristics and parameters are listed which can be subjected to optimization or multidisciplinary optimization (MDO) procedures. Case studies and numerical examples are shown for optimization, quality analysis, improvement and shape optimization of several industrial products and products designed by Industrial product and art designer students. The examples and case studies were selected from the industrial projects and students design and optimization works and results of the Department of Machine and Product Design at University of Miskolc, Hungary.
