Research And Application On The Visualization Technology For The Optimization Process Of Antenna Structures

At present, there are great development and evolution in the field of structural optimization, but practical applications are not available. The main reason is that conventional optimization method is still settled in non-visualization situation, which restricted the applications of optimization technology in structure design. Financed by the National Defense Science foundation project"Development of antenna structural integrative design platform system", this paper has a deeply research on visualization technology for optimization process of antenna structure.This paper applies visualization in scientific computing (VISC) to optimization process of antenna structure. Optimization process can be transparent and efficiency of optimization can be improved by using VISC method.This paper determines the design idea of combining VISC with structural optimization design. Problems which existed in structural optimization design are analyzed and contents of optimization process are determined. Calling and dominating calculation program written in FORTRAN in the development environment of Delphi are realized by the techniques of FORTRAN/Delphi mixed-language programming and multi-threaded application. Parallel coordinates visualization technology is deeply researched and applied in software exploitation of optimization process. Essential programs of VISC software are compiled. Approaches which can improve efficiency of optimization are discussed. In the end, functional modules are integrated and a typical computational example is verified.
