What is CAO/DAO?

CAO/DAO refers to a combined use of Computer-Aided Optimization (CAO) and Design Automation/Design-Assisted Optimization (DAO). The terms are often used interchangeably, or CAO is sometimes considered a broader umbrella term. Essentially, these technologies leverage computational tools and algorithms to automate and optimize the design process for various systems, products, or processes. This can include tasks such as automatically generating design alternatives, simulating performance, and identifying the best design based on specified criteria. It's commonly used in engineering fields like mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering to improve design efficiency, reduce development time, and enhance product performance.
