This study presents a newly developed approach for visualization of Pareto and quasi-Pareto solutions of a multiobjective design problem for the heat piping system in an artificial satellite. Given conflicting objective functions, multiobjective optimization requires both a search algorithm to find optimal solutions and a decision-making process for finalizing a design solution. This type of multiobjective optimization problem may easily induce equally optimized multple solutions such as Pareto solutions, quasi-Pareto solutions, and feasible solutions. Here, a multidimensional visualization and clustering technique is used for visualization of Pareto solutions. The proposed approach can support engineering decisions in the design of the heat piping system in artificial satellites. Design considerations for heat piping system need to simultaneously satisfy dual conditions such as thermal robustness and overall limitation of the total weight of the system. The proposed visualization and clustering technique can be a valuable design tool for the heat piping system, in which reliable decision-making has been frequently hindered by the conflicting nature of objective functions in conventional approaches.
