 What is Surrogate Modeling ?
A. Forrester, A. Sobester, and A. Keane. “Engineering Design via Surrogate Modelling: A
Practical Guide”. Coll. John Wiley & Sons (2008).

A surrogate model of a function is an approximation of Expensive

Computer simulation: It’s a supervised learning process in AI.
As the surrogate is less costly to evaluate it can be used as a “fast” code in
a Multidisciplinary Design Optimization loop. [or do Uncertainty
Quantification or do Bayesian Optimization etc…]

(Expensive) simulation MDO

Our approach: is

modeling framework with derivatives. Advances in Engineering Software, 135, 102662.

An open source python toolbox for surrogate models: first version of SMT
in July 2017 1.0 version in April 2021. Novelty : focus on derivatives.

Initial Stiffness=f(lf: length of the fibre,Vc: Percentage of carbon fibre in the mixture)

Composites material prediction (AIAA Aviation 2022):

The aim is to build a surrogate model for mixed variables in a hybrid composite problem using
Gower Distance. The trained surrogate model is able to predict the composites characteristics.
