To achieve an optimal design, a product must be treated as a complete system instead of developing subsystems independently [2]. MDOhas been established as a convincing concurrent design optimization technique in development of such complex products [3,4]. Furthermore, it has been pointed out that, regardless of discipline, basically all analyses require information that has to be extracted from a geometry model Hence, according to Bow-cutt [1], in order to enable integrated design analysis and optimization it is of vital importance to be able to integrate an automated parametric geometry generation system into the design framework. The automated geometry generation is a key enabler for so-called geometry-in-the-loop[6] multidisciplinary design frameworks, where the CAD geometries can serve as framework integrators for other engineering tools. To eliminate noncreative work, methods for creation and automatic generation of HLCt have been suggested by Tarkian [7].The principle of high HLCts is similar to high level primitives(HLP) suggested by La Rocca and van Tooren [8], with the exception that HLCts are created and utilized in a CAD environment.Otherwise, the basics of both HLP and HLCt can, as suggested byLa Rocca, be compared to parametric LEGOVRblocks containing a set of design and analysis parameters. These are produced and stored in libraries, giving engineers or a computer agent the possibility to first topologically select the templates and then modify the morphology, meaning the shape,of each template parametrically. 2、Multidisciplinary Design Framework MDO is a “ systematic approach to design space exploration ” [17], the implementation of which
