<p>Design optimization applies the methods of <a href="Mathematical_optimization" title="Mathematical optimization">mathematical optimization</a> to design problem formulations and it is sometimes used interchangeably with the term <a href="Engineering_optimization" title="Engineering optimization">engineering optimization</a>. When the objective function <i>f</i> is a <a href="Vector-valued_function" title="Vector-valued function">vector</a> rather than a <a href="Scalar_field" title="Scalar field">scalar</a>, the problem becomes a <a href="Multi-objective_optimization" title="Multi-objective optimization">multi-objective optimization</a> one. If the design optimization problem has more than one mathematical solutions the methods of <a href="Global_optimization" title="Global optimization">global optimization</a> are used to identified the global optimum.

</p><p>One modern application of design optimization is structural design optimization (SDO) is in building and construction sector. SDO emphasizes automating and optimizing structural designs and dimensions to satisfy a variety of performance objectives. These advancements aim to optimize the configuration and dimensions of structures to optimize augmenting strength, minimize material usage, reduce costs, enhance energy efficiency, improve sustainability, and optimize several other performance criteria. Concurrently, structural design automation endeavors to streamline the design process, mitigate human errors, and enhance productivity through computer-based tools and optimization algorithms. Prominent practices and technologies in this domain include the parametric design, generative design, building information modelling (BIM) technology, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI), as well as integrating finite element analysis (FEA) with simulation tools.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
