This paper proposes a new methodology for uncertainty quantification in systems that require multidisciplinary iterative analysis between two or more coupled component models. This methodology is based on computing the probability of satisfying the interdisciplinary compatibility equations, conditioned on specific values of the coupling (or feedback) variables, and this information is used to estimate the probability distributions of the coupling variables. The estimation of the coupling variables is analogous to likelihood-based parameter estimation in statistics and thus leads to the proposed likelihood approach for multidisciplinary analysis (LAMDA). Using the distributions of the feedback variables, the coupling can be removed in any one direction without loss of generality, while still preserving the mathematical relationship between the coupling variables. The calculation of the probability distributions of the coupling variables is theoretically exact and does not require a fully coupled system analysis. The proposed method is illustrated using a mathematical example and an aerospace system application-a fire detection satellite. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4005619]
