Automated Design Synthesis (ADS) program is general-purpose numerical optimization program containing wide variety of algorithms. Assumed user prepares analysis problem capable of computing objective function and constraints. Program able to accept as part of input design variable quantities. Optimization process carried out by ADS coupled with user's program. ADS used for constrained and unconstrained function minimization. Solution of general problem separated into three basic levels: Strategy, Optimizer, and One-Dimensional Search. Already significant applications in area of structural synthesis (minimum-weight design).
