pSeven Desktop is adesign space exploration (DSE) software platform that was developed by pSeven SAS that features design, simulation, and analysis capabilities and assists in design decisions. It provides integration with third-partyCAD andCAE software tools;multi-objective androbust optimization algorithms;data analysis, anduncertainty quantification tools.
pSeven Desktop falls under the category ofPIDO (Process Integration and Design Optimization) software. Design space exploration functionality is based on the mathematical algorithms ofpSeven Core (formerly named MACROS) Python library.
pSeven Desktop workflow engine and algorithms from pSeven Core laid the foundation for the development of pSeven Enterprise, a cloud-native low-code platform used for engineering automation.
In 2003, researchers from the Institute for Information Transmission Problems started collaborating withAirbus to perform R&D in the domains of simulation and data analysis using the pSeven Core library as pSeven Desktop's background. The first version of the pSeven Core library was created in association withEADS Innovation Works in 2009. Since 2012,[1] pSeven Desktop for simulation automation,data analysis, andoptimization has been developed and marketed by pSeven SAS, incorporating pSeven Core.
pSeven provides a variety of tools for data and model analysis:
Optimization algorithms implemented in pSeven allow solving single andmulti-objective constrained optimization problems as well asrobust and reliability-based design optimization problems. Users can solve both engineering optimization problems with cheap semi-analytical models and problems with expensive (in terms ofCPU time) objective functions and constraints.[3][4]The SmartSelection adaptively selects the optimization algorithm for a given optimization problem.
pSeven provides tools to build and automatically run the workflow, to configure and share library of workflows and to distribute computation, including HPC. The main process integration tools of pSeven:
pSeven Desktop's application areas are different industries such as aerospace,[5] automotive, energy, electronics, biomedical and others.
pSeven Desktop has been used for the optimization of layeredcomposite armor to reduce its weight[6] and for multidisciplinary and multi-objective optimization of an aircraft family.[7]
