Original Press Release:
Multistat Visual Optimizer Integrates with VisualDOC
Integration Provides Powerful Optimization and Visualization Software Benefits for Both User Communities
Irvine, CA, September 28, 2004 - Multistat, Inc., a leading provider of design optimization and data visualization software and services, today announced the integration of Multistat Visual Optimizer with VR&D's VisualDOC product. The integration has been achieved following a cooperation agreement between Multistat and VR&D.
Design optimization technology works with multi-dimensional data where it is crucial to find the best solution from thousands of available variants. Multistat Visual Optimizer provides numerous options to the users. The most important of them are:
o Visualization and analysis of analytical and numerical models by the patented Visualization for Multidimensional Functions by Projections (VMFP) method
o Solving multi-objective optimization problems by The Exclusion of Regions Method (TERM)
o Tools for generating and post-processing the Pareto frontier
o Seamless handling of both continuous and discrete variables
o Support of algebraic, polynomial, Neural Networks, and MATLAB models, as well as models in the form of standalone programs and COM-objects
The software is designed for scientists and engineers to solve various optimization tasks, including multidisciplinary optimization, and to develop, analyze, and simulate novel compounds and processes, organize scientific data, and share information.
Multistat has developed a plug-in interface that allows Multistat customers to easily integrate their own optimization libraries with Multistat Visual Optimizer, and use its advanced model building functionality, powerful 2D/3D interactive graphics, reporting tools, and database support as IDE (Internal Data Exchange) for their own optimization algorithms.
The plug-in interface has been used to integrate VisualDOC with Multistat Visual Optimizer. Multistat users can use all of VisualDOC's optimization and Design of Experiments (DOE) capabilities. Mathematical models and data can be seamlessly imported from VisualDOC, processed in the Multistat Visual Optimizer environment and exported back into the VisualDOC database.
The integration provides benefits to design optimization and general optimization user communities. Multistat Visual Optimizer's users benefit from VR&D's optimization and DOE algorithms. VisualDOC has a comprehensive library of gradient and non-gradient optimization algorithms. The algorithms have a reputation as the most efficient for high-dimensional optimization tasks with up to thousands of design variables, and require a low number of function evaluations.
VisualDOC users benefit from unique visualization, advanced IDE and enhanced reporting capabilities. In addition, Multistat Visual Optimizer provides TERM and VMFP methods of multi-objective optimization for use with relatively low-dimensional optimization problems. TERM is the most accurate algorithm of its type on the market. It is based on mathematically-proven results and strict numerical analysis. TERM calculates the solution with pre-assigned accuracy.
"VisualDOC has one of the best libraries of optimization algorithms and an expansive library of experimental design methods," said Vladimir Sevastyanov, president, Multistat Inc. "The integration of Multistat Visual Optimizer provides an excellent visual environment for those algorithms and methods. This integration creates one of the most comprehensive and powerful optimization tools in the market."
