The design of gas bearing supported rotor systems requires an in-depth knowlegde of the required product and the operating conditions, and in those applications where OFTTech provides a service to support an external client, OFTTech works together with the client to understand the application to make the product a success.
OFFTech uses a newly-developed Genetic Algorithm Optimisation system developed at the Swiss Technical Institue of Lausanne described in this reference: A Molyneaux "A Practical Evolutionary Method for the Multi-Objective Optimisation of Complex Integrated Energy Systems". PhD Thesis, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland. 2002, e-mail adam.molyneaux@bluewin.ch
This method allows one to find the optimal solution to the complex problem of gas bearing design for maximum performance at minimum cost.
