DOT is a general purpose design optimization software. It supports only continuous design variables. DOT is called as a subroutine in FORTRAN or a function in C/C++.
GENESIS is a fully integrated structural analysis and design optimization software package, written by leading experts in structural optimization. Analysis is based on the finite element method for static, normal modes, direct and modal frequency analysis, and heat transfer calculations.
Graphics-based general-purpose design optimization software system. Design variables may be continuous, discrete, integer or any combination. It supports multi-objective optimization, Response Surface Methodology and Design of Experiments (DOE) functional module.
