# Appendix A FanOpt

Two versions of FanOpt are included on the CD: Ø in FanOpt v 3.3 (FanOpt33.exe), Immune Acceleration occurs after every generation Ø in FanOpt v 3.5 (FanOpt35.exe), Immune Acceleration occurs with same frequency as Hybridization Best acceleration results were obtained with v 3.5, specifically, HIADE b-b-50-100 10-10-10. (See Chapter 6.)
## Documentation All dialog boxes that control the design algorithm are accessed from the Options menu. Follow the links below for a description of each dialog box. Ø Aerodynamic target Ø Geometry options Ø Optimization options Ø Constraints Ø Run à click to start optimization Ø Quit à click to stop optimization Ø Convergence history à not working properly
## Installing the software: 1. Most systems will require the following .dll files. Copy them from the “Appendix A FanOpt\dll_files” folder on the CD to your Windows\System folder. Ø Mfc42d.dll, Mfco42d.dll, Msvcirtd.dll, Msvcp50d.dll, Msvcrtd.dll 2. Copy all files from the “Appendix A FanOpt\run_files” folder to your machine. All files must be in the same folder. Note: The resource files (.r) files store all the current optimization settings. This allows FanOpt to “remember” the most recent settings, and eliminates the need for much keying of data.
