Zebroid is a quick optimizer (by Dr. Hwang Yi): Quadruple hybridization of the mesh-adaptive pattern search, differential evolution, tabu search, and cuckoo random walk for faster and robust architectural or engineering optimization.
Description of input parameters to run
Variables: Numeric input (number slider)
Objective: Numeric value to be minimized/maximized
Threshold: A value acceptable for termination
memorySize: Tabu memory length
popSize: Size of a population for differential evolution and levy flight random walk
stagFactor: Number of iterations to switch to differential evolution
Run: Start over
ForceStop: Pause or stop
Resume: Restart after pause
This can be used to solve any form of minimization/maximization problems as well as multi-objective optimization.
I hope you enjoy this tool. This will be helpful to you in your design process!
