MOPTA 2008 Benchmark
At the MOPTA 2008 conference, the plenary speaker Don Jones gave a presentation entitled Large-Scale Multi-Disciplinary Mass Optimization in the Auto Industry. As part of that presentation, he set a new multi-disciplinary optimization (MDO) benchmark problem as a challenge to the optimization community. The slides for Jones' talk, as well as the files for the test problem, are available below.
