Keywords: aircraft engine design, optimization, evolutionary algorith ms, gas turbine

Within the VIVACE project, an object-oriented simulation tool called PROOSIS is developed to integrate all European gas turbine simulation technology into a single framework. As optimization functionalities are required, the MAX optimization code developed at Cenaero has been made accessible from PROOSIS, and applied to a turbofan model.
