Automatic Differentiation of the Open CASCADE Technology CAD System and its coupling with an Adjoint CFD Solver
Automatic Differentiation (AD) is applied to the open-source CAD system Open CASCADE Technology using the AD software tool ADOL-C (Automatic Differentiation by OverLoading in C++). The differentiated CAD system is coupled with a discrete adjoint CFD solver, thus providing the first example of a complete differentiated design chain built from generic, multi-purpose tools. The design … Read more
