  • Patent number: 9104963
    Abstract: A method of visualizing a plurality of designs which comply with a plurality of objectives. The method comprises acquiring a plurality of designs each represented by sequential multivariate data indicative of a compliance with a plurality of objectives, generating an objective anchored based self-organizing map (SOM) having a plurality of objective anchors and maps the plurality of designs in an objective space, and outputting the objective anchored based SOM. Each objective anchor is associated with one of the plurality of objectives, each the design is visualized in the objective anchored based SOM by an indicator which the distance thereof from each the objective anchors is indicative of a compliance thereof with a respective the associated objective in relation to other of the plurality of objectives.

  • Publication number: 20150019173
    Abstract: A computerized method of providing a multiobjective optimal design through user interactive navigation, comprising: 1) Designating a user reference design which defines multiple objectives in a design space. 2) Exploring the design space to identify a multiobjective optimal design, evolved from the reference design, through multiple navigation iterations. During each iteration the user is interacted to reach an intermediate candidate design which is closer to a Pareto frontier. Each iteration comprising: (a) Identifying and presenting the user, optimal designs which are closer to the Pareto frontier and are within a pre-defined evolution distance from an intermediate design of previous iteration, improving one or more of the objectives. (b) Selecting a preferred design from those candidate designs, according to user instructions, the preferred design is used as the starting point for the next iteration.
