Abstract

This paper proposes an interactive genetic algorithm (IGA) integrated with multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) in development of a generative design system. IGA is used in initializing and handling single dimensionally qualitative objectives. MOGA is used in optimizing two quantitative objectives. Qualitative factors are considered as design objectives to be optimized together with quantitative criteria. The multi-objective optimization is regarded to concurrent handling of two quantitative criteria. Shape of product is modeled by parametric modeling with Rhinoceros and Grasshopper. IGA is processed using Galapagos in Grasshopper. Shape optimization of the product is processed by using MOGA in MATLAB and linked to Grasshopper. Pareto-optimal front is generated to show the optimal solutions, which is able to support designers in decision making. The perfume bottle design is used as an illustration of the proposed framework, but the framework is applicable to other design problems.
