This paper describes a design methodology for systems that are subject to transient constraints. The methodology, which builds on surrogate modeling using wavelet neural networks, enables the designer to perform design space exploration and optimization while ensuring that the transient constraints are met, thus avoiding potentially costly design iterations.
