Tutorials using DAKOTA

In this short tutorial we do a bounded-constrained gradient optimization study of a blunt body.

We aim at optimizing the shape of a blunt body. The goal is to minimize the drag coefficient. The body is parametrized using Bezier curves with four control points and six linear constraints.

To do the optmization we use coupled Dakota, Salome and OpenFOAM. The geometry and mesh is done by Salome.
