Ok, FDS II was a simulation system, what about optimization?

0

It was an overall simulation system, but some of its segment processors performed optimization, the ascent and descent phases, and the upper-stage orbital transfers, for example. But FDS did not optimize the whole mission profile. It was known as a concurrent engineering (CE) simulation system. To have optimized the whole mission profile, it would have required a CE optimization (CEO) system. This is what future ASDLs will be designed to be. Meta calculus had been used at TRW, to create CEO systems of this kind, which could optimize the trajectories and orbits, with nested optimization of the sub-segments, so that the whole mission plan was optimized.
