Chandramouli, Magesh; Bertoline, Gary; Connolly, Patrick – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2009
This study proposes an innovative solution to the problem of multiobjective engineering design optimization by integrating desktop VR with genetic computing. Although, this study considers the case of construction design as an example to illustrate the framework, this method can very much be extended to other engineering design problems as well.…
