graphmdo 1.0.0

A dynamic, graph-driven Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) framework integrating FalkorDB, GEMSEO, and multi-fidelity surrogate models.

GraphMDO: Dynamic Multi-Fidelity MDO Framework

GraphMDO bridges data engineering and MDO. It extracts topological data (solvers, variables, fidelity levels) to form an oriented graph, specifically utilizing GEMSEO for semantic formulation and execution. Execution is handled natively by GEMSEO and the Surrogate Modeling Toolbox (SMT), with optimization workflows currently centered on constrained Bayesian optimization (ax-platform) and DOE exploration through GEMSEO. The framework supports single- and multi-objective optimization over graph-derived design variables with explicit inequality constraints.

Key Features

• Native Graph Formulation: Uses FalkorDB to store problem definitions (variables, tools, dependencies) as a property graph.
• Dynamic Problem Construction: Automatically translates the graph topology into an executable GEMSEO MDO formulation.
• Multi-Fidelity Surrogates: Integrates SMT for Co-Kriging and other surrogate models.
• Constrained Bayesian Optimization: Leverages Ax Platform for robust optimization, supporting GEMSEO objectives, inequality constraints, and mixed discrete/continuous parameters.

Project Architecture

The framework is divided into four sequential phases, each corresponding to a layer of abstraction:

1. Graph Layer — FalkorDB stores the Fundamental Problem Graph (FPG): variables, tools, and directed connections.
2. Core Layer — Python modules translate the graph schema into executable GEMSEO constructs (disciplines, design space, topology).
3. Execution Service — A FastAPI microservice that manages a pool of GEMSEO OptimizationProblem instances and exposes an HTTP evaluation endpoint.
4. Optimization Layer — Bayesian (Ax Platform) or DOE (GEMSEO Sobol) drivers run over the GEMSEO MDO scenario.

Installation

This project uses uv for dependency management.

1. Install uv (if not installed): See astral.sh/uv.

2. Clone and Install:

   git clone https://github.com/jultou-raa/GraphMDO.git
   cd GraphMDO
   uv sync
   

3. FalkorDB: Ensure you have a running FalkorDB instance (e.g., via Docker):

   docker run -p 6379:6379 -it falkordb/falkordb
   

Usage

1. Defining a Problem (Python API)

You can programmatically build your MDO problem graph:

from mdo_framework.db.graph_manager import GraphManager

gm = GraphManager()
gm.clear_graph()

# Define Variables
gm.add_variable("x", value=1.0, lower=0.0, upper=10.0)
gm.add_variable("y", value=2.0, lower=0.0, upper=10.0)
gm.add_variable("z", value=0.0)

# Define Tool
gm.add_tool("MyTool")

# Define Connections
gm.connect_input_to_tool("x", "MyTool")
gm.connect_input_to_tool("y", "MyTool")
gm.connect_tool_to_output("MyTool", "z")

2. Running Optimization

Once the graph is populated, you can run the optimization workflow. You need to provide the actual Python functions corresponding to the tool names in the graph.

from mdo_framework.core.translator import GraphProblemBuilder
from mdo_framework.optimization.optimizer import BayesianOptimizer
from mdo_framework.core.evaluators import LocalEvaluator
from mdo_framework.core.topology import TopologicalAnalyzer

# Define tool implementation
def my_tool_func(x, y):
    return x + y  # Simple example

# Registry maps graph tool names to Python callables
tool_registry = {
    "MyTool": my_tool_func
}

# Build GEMSEO Problem from Graph
schema = gm.get_graph_schema()
builder = GraphProblemBuilder(schema)
prob = builder.build_problem(tool_registry)

# Resolve Topology mapping design_vars automatically from the graph schema
analyzer = TopologicalAnalyzer(schema)
design_vars, _ = analyzer.resolve_dependencies(["z"])
parameters = analyzer.extract_parameters(design_vars)

# Run Optimization
evaluator = LocalEvaluator(prob)
optimizer = BayesianOptimizer(
    evaluator=evaluator,
    parameters=parameters,
    objectives=[{"name": "z", "minimize": True}],
)

result = optimizer.optimize(n_steps=10)
print(f"Best Result: {result['best_objectives']} at {result['best_parameters']}")
print(f"Trial History: {result['history']}")
