HEEDS developed by SIEMENS, also known as the Hierarchical Evolutionary Engineering Design System. This versatile and robust tool enables engineers and designers to perform optimization for a wide range of industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing.

HEEDS utilizes advanced algorithms to examine the design space and determine the optimal design parameters based on user-defined objectives and constraints. It can manage both single and multi-objective optimization problems, and can optimize for various performance criteria, including thermal, structural, electromagnetic, and fluid dynamics.

HEEDS offers multiple optimization techniques, such as genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and response surface methods. It integrates with widely-used simulation tools such as SC-AMESim, SC-STAR CCM+, and SC3D to simplify the optimization process, reduce time, and lower the cost required for design optimization.

Apart from design optimization, HEEDS also provides design exploration and sensitivity analysis capabilities to allow designers to investigate the design space and comprehend the effects of different design parameters on performance. This helps designers to identify crucial design factors and make informed decisions about design modifications.

In summary, HEEDS is an adaptable and powerful tool that can assist engineers and designers in optimizing their designs for cost, performance, and other essential criteria, resulting in more efficient and effective designs.
