Description
The ESA-NLP solver WORHP is already used in several academic and industrial
projects in a wide range of applications, as aerospace, automotive or
logistics. Currently over 500 users worldwide code their problem formulations
using the the standard interfaces to Fortran, C/C++ and MATLAB.
To simplify the formulation of optimisation problems for demonstration and
educational purposes WORHP Lab is developed as a graphical user interface (GUI). With a
growing set of applied examples and visualisation techniques it shows the
capabilities of the underlying solver WORHP and opens access to more
involved concepts like parametric sensitivity analysis using WORHP Zen.
Furthermore, WORHP Lab provides the possibility to solve optimal control problems
using our transcription method TransWORHP. Different approaches like
full discretisation with grid refinement or multiple shooting are compared easily
within this tool. Additionally, optimal control problems can be solved on reduced time
horizons to illustrate concepts of nonlinear model predictive control.
WORHP Lab was already employed successfully in several industrial workshops as well as
for educational purposes with pupils and students. In this talk we illustrate its
features with aerospatial examples of optimisation and optimal control problems.
