The Sellar problem is an analytical multi-disciplinary design problem. The objective function f is to be minimized with respect to the variables z1, z2 and x1 while being subjected to g1, g2 and the disciplines y1 and y2.

D1: y1 = z1^2 + x1 + z2 -0.2*y2
D2: y2 = y1^0.5 + z1 + z2
F1: f = x1^2 + z^2 + y1 + e^(-y2)
G1: g1 = y1/3.16 - 1
G2: g2 = 1 - y2/24

The files in the subdirectories represent and illustrate Repository Connectivity Graphs (RCGs), Fundmental Problem Graphs (FPGs) and MDO Data/Process Graphs (MDG/MPG). These graphs were developed for a new software system called KADMOS which will be released in near future.

In the RCG files two additional tools, D3 and G3, are present. They are consequently removed for the FPG files and demonstrate the KADMOS capabilities of tailoring a larger database down to a specific problem.
