This case study explains how mtu Solutions optimized turbocharger impeller design using automated, multidisciplinary optimization. Earlier aerodynamic improvements often failed due to overlooked structural, thermal, and manufacturing constraints, resulting in time-consuming redesigns. By implementing a fully automated workflow with CAESES, mtu integrated aerodynamics, structural integrity, thermal behavior, and mass properties into a single parameterized geometry model. The process enabled simultaneous evaluation of multiple performance criteria, including CFD, structural strength, vibration, and inertia. As a result, mtu reduced development time by more than 50% and achieved designs close to final production quality, balancing efficiency, durability, and manufacturability while significan
