OPTIMIZATION SHELL INVERSE


    Welcome to the Inverse home page! Inverse is a general-purpose software for solving optimization and inverse problems in science and engineering. It is designed for research purposes in various fields of optimization as well as for solving practical problems.

    Inverse is primarily constructed for operation in conjunction with a simulation programme, although stand-alone use is possible. Any simulation programme can be connected with Inverse using the provided general file interface (refer to the appropriate manual). A direct interface with a FEM simulation environment Elfen is currently being implemented, but is not yet available for external use. Hopefully direct interface modules with some other simulation programmes will be provided in the future.

    Since a large amount of information resides on the present pages, we tried to make easier to navigate through. The data is organized in a logical tree structure wher each page contains links to its sub-pages at the bottom. Topics are listed down to the third level in a surveyable index which appears on the left-hand side in the framed version of these pages (if you have loaded the main page without an index, you can click here to load the framed version with the index). As an alternative to an index you can use the waymark page for navigation. Some pages (like this one) contain navigation tips gathered under a special sub-title.
 

     If you are new with Inverse, you should first find out what is Inverse. You will find out more about the basic concepts on "Info Centre / Inverse Philosophy", while individual topics are covered in the documentation page. There you can also find manuals which will give you a complete reference of how to use the software.

    To get a closer look at the programme, see the "Learning and Availability" page. Learning tips will help you to find the fastest way of learning how to use the software. For a lot of people a better way of learning about the software than reading manuals will be running the training examples which are available for downloading. To run these examples you will also need a version of Inverse for your machine. See the "Learning and Availability / Availability" page for details how to obtain the code for your machine!

     The "Info Centre" page contains useful additional information about Inverse. You will find out there more about philosophy of Inverse, about strategy of further development and about partners with whom Inverse developing team cooperates.

    On the "News & Events" page you can follow the most important news related to Inverse. The "Example Gallery" page contains some example problems which were solved using Inverse. On the "Links" page you will find the collection of our links to pages with various contents related to Inverse and activities of its developing team.
 

    If this is your first contact with Inverse, we recommend you to check the "What Is Inverse" page where you can get the first impression about what Inverse really is. After that you can check Inverse manuals and other documentation on Inverse or run training examples to get more profound insight.
