An application of the 3-Dimensional Design Optimization Code, 3DOPT, has been performed and compared with previous optimization results, in addition to recent direct driven optimization results. This paper discusses these results and examines several refinement strategies for enhancing the 3DOPT design of experiments models. Results presented will show that 3DOPT has provided additional areas of improvement within the global design space. This work represents the first application of the 3DOPT system for a design optimization study.
