'''PIDO''' stands for '''Process Integration and Design Optimization'''. Process Integration is necessary because multiple software tools are often used in multi-domain system design. Control software is developed using a different toolchain than the one used for analyzing the mechanical properties of a system, which again employs different tools for structural analysis. To optimize a design, communication between these tools is essential.

The ultimate goal, design optimization, can be achieved by defining [cost functions](/source/Loss_function) and identifying the parameters that can be adjusted to align the design with the cost function(s).
