Software Eliminates Guess-Work from Coating Designs
The possibility of having true global optimization for a large number of variables such as in multi-layer thin film design, has been debated for decades. A true global optimization algorithm works for a variety of different applications to find the best possible outcome for many interlinked variables. In thin film design, it can reduce the time taken to obtain optimum designs, allow designers to find solutions to unfamiliar problems, reduce manufacturing costs, and achieve goals that were...
