=== Non-gradient-based methods ===
In recent years, non-gradient-based evolutionary methods including [[genetic algorithm]]s, [[simulated annealing]], and [[Ant colony optimization algorithms|ant colony algorithms]] came into existence. At present, many researchers are striving to arrive at a consensus regarding the best modes and methods for complex problems like impact damage, dynamic failure, and [[Real-time analyzer|real-time analyses]]. For this purpose, researchers often employ multiobjective and multicriteria design methods.
