The DWSIM Optimization ( dwsimopt ) is a Python library that automates DWSIM simulations for process optimization. The simulation dlls are embedded in the programming environment so that they can be accessed and modified by the optimization algorithms. Mathematical background Although very efficient to describe in detail complex systems that would otherwise have to be simplified or approximated, black-box process simulators lack the symbolic formulation of the process model equations and the analytical derivatives that are useful for optimization, for example. The use of simulation may also introduce noise to the calculations due to convergence and approximations of numerical methods, which can jeopardize the calculation of accurate approximate derivatives and, therefore, the use of gradient-based optimization methods directly [1] . Also, the lack of analytical formulations of the optimization problem prevents the derivation of rigorous upper and lower bounds of the functions that are used for deterministic global optimization [2] . In that sense, the optimization models that require simulations to calculate the objective function and/or constraints are often referred to as simulation optimization problem [3] . A simplified version of this class of problems can be described as finding an that solves globally the following constrained problem in which the objective function and constraints , being q the number of constraints","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/lf-santos","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/lf-santos/dwsimopt/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
