Abstract position of the system into its constituent
Multidisciplinary design instances arise when the subsystems. These subsystems are intrinsically linked
performance of large-scale, complex systems can be through design, function, and performance. There have
affected through the optimal design of several smaller been numerous approaches proposed for analyzing such
functional units or subsystems. In this paper, we design problems. Multidisciplinary design optimization
describe the use of multidisciplinary design methods employ individual analyses for each
optimization to resolve system-level tradeoffs during subsystem. These analyses are then aggregated by a
racecar design. Our implementation involves three system-level coordination proce
