Hello everyone, good to be in a nice group like this, I have a technical question.

Right now I am developing a paper related with Structural Grid Optimization using Generative Design from Dynamo, I am developing the introduction part and I would like to know if anyone knows the page where I can consult what is the main optimization method behind the Generative Design Tool to cite in the paper.

The optimization algorithm is an implementation of NSGA II.

For further information the primer at [https://www.generativedesign.org/](https://www.generativedesign.org/) has some good content in the first two chapters.
