The main industrial software available to a designer during a spring definition work use exhaustive calculations from standards to make a full check of the proposed spring's compatibility with the given specifications. As far as we are aware, they don't really exploit optimisation process capabilities. This paper presents tools that exploit several optimisation techniques for custom spring design by linking both industrial and mathematical knowledge.
