OpenMDAO - Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization

OpenMDAO is an open-source (why?) Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) framework, written in Python. You can use it to develop an integrated analysis and design environment for your engineering challenges.

In layman’s terms: OpenMDAO is a piece of software that links other pieces of software together. It allows you to combine analysis tools (or design codes) from multiple disciplines, at multiple levels of fidelity, and to manage the interaction between them. OpenMDAO is specifically designed to manage the dataflow (the actual data) and the workflow (what code is run when) in conjunction with optimization algorithms and other advanced solution techniques. OpenMDAO also has extensive optimization capabilities built right in.
