description

We shortly describe an interactive method, called NIMBUS, for multiobjective optimization involving nondifferentiable and nonconvex functions. We illustrate the functioning of NIMBUS by numerical examples in the area of structural design. We consider a beam with varying thickness and our aim is to find a thickness distribution in such a way that the resulting structure is as good as possible.
