Example 10, Slide 15: "twoskirt" case, Evolution of the objective during the first execution of the GENOPT processor called "SUPEROPT"

This is Fig. 8b from the 2013 GENOPT paper2. Shown here are results from the specific case called “twoskirt”: Optimization of the long propellant tank with two skirts connected to the aft and forward cylinder-dome junctions. (See the next slide.) Note that this execution of SUPEROPT produces three different local optimum designs, the “best” (smallest objective) being the one labeled "Local Optimum Design No. 3".
