Abstract
Direct transcription optimal control codes have been very successful. One common source of numerical difficulty is getting a feasible solution on the first iteration. Overcoming this often requires a high level of expertise on the user´s part. This paper discusses research aimed at the development of a collection of utilities to assist users in solving complex industrial optimal control problems with direct transcription codes.
