Website abstract bibtex Engineering design generally involves two, possibly integrated, phases: (i) generating design options, and (ii) choosing the most satisfactory option on the basis of some determined criteria. The depth, or lack, of integration between these two phases defines different design approaches, and differing philosophical views from the part of researchers in the field of computational design. Optimization-Based Design (OBD) covers the spectrum of this depth of integration. While most OBD approaches strongly integrate these two phases, some employ computational optimization only in the first or second phase. Regardless of where a method or researcher lies in this philosophical spectrum, some requisite characteristics are fundamental to the effectiveness of OBD methods. In particular, (i) the Aggregate Objective Function (AOF) used in the optimization must have the ability to generate all Pareto solutions, (ii) the generation of any existing Pareto solutions must be possible with reasonable ease, and (iii) even changes in the AOF parameters should yield a well distributed set of Pareto solutions. This paper examines the effectiveness of physical programming (PP) with respect to the latter, yielding favorable conclusions. Previous papers have led to similarly positive conclusions with respect to the former two. This paper also presents a comparative study featuring PP and other popular methods, where PP is shown to perform favorably. A PP-based method for generating the Pareto frontier is presented.
