Multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGA) have demonstrated their usefulness for the global optimization of accelerator design using Elegant and Astra. A MOGA platform developed at TRIUMF seeks to expand the capabilities of such tools by allowing multiple simulation engines to be used. The TRIUMF optimization software platform was applied to the transport design of an injection line leading from a cryomodule to the beam dump. The optimization involves two simulation engines, Astra and MAD-X, and demonstrates the ability for the platform to handle multi-engine optimization for a realistic problem. Results of the optimization are shown.
