Thus, there was no need for the time-consuming trial-<strong>and</strong>-error simulations.<br />

Also the number <strong>of</strong> solutions needed to be generated in optimization before<br />

finding the most satisfying compromise was small compared with the simulations.<br />

Since all the solutions found in optimization were mathematically<br />

equally good Pareto optimal solutions, the papermaking expert’s knowledge<br />

could be used in a case-specific way when selecting the most satisfying final<br />

solution.
