With the AVL AST Isight component the user can integrate models of the AVL simulation products BOOST, CRUISE, EXCITE and FIRE into Isight process flows.  The component provides access to scalar design variables and responses, which have previously been defined for the respective model in BOOST, CRUISE, EXCITE or FIRE. For each design iteration, the component will transfer the current values of the design variables to the AVL product, execute the specified simulation process including all defined pre- and postprocessing and read back the response data to Isight.
