Abstract

A successful application of the interactive multiobjective optimization method NIMBUS to a design problem in papermaking technology is described. Namely, an optimal shape design problem related to the paper machine headbox is studied. First, the NIMBUS method, the numerical headbox model, and the associated multiobjective optimization problem are described. Then, the results of numerical experiments are presented.
