A methodology is presented to explore the tradeoffs associated with the numerous solutions typically obtained through multiobjective optimization procedures. The method is a graphical surface navigation technique based on a spring equilibrium analogy. The procedure is cast in the framework of an interactive graphical session, which permits a user easily to move from one noninferior point to another on the objective response surface. A zooming capability is also incorporated which facilitates refinement of the noninferior set approximation over particular areas of interest and as well, provides for the capability to examine the exact noninferior set. A three-dimensional and a five-dimensional problem are used to illustrate the method.
