First Neural Network Based Optimization post

This is first neural network based optimization post. This is my very first post and recently I don’t have any idea to post about.

The ever-increasing demand on engineers to lower production costs to withstand competition has prompted engineers to look for rigorous methods of decision making, such as optimization methods, to design and produce products both economically and efficiently.

Optimization techniques, having reached a degree of maturity over the past several years, are being used in a wide spectrum of industries, including aerospace, automotive, chemical, electrical, and manufacturing industries. With rapidly advancing computer technology, computers are becoming more powerful, and correspondingly, the size and the complexity of the problems being solved using optimization techniques are also increasing. Optimization methods, coupled with modern tools of computer aided design, are also being used to enhance the creative process of conceptual and detailed design of engineering systems.

I am using artificial neural network.
