Combining design responses

The simplest approach for combining design responses is to create an objective function with a weighted sum of design responses. Alternatively, you can combine design responses using the design response editor. You should be careful how you combine design responses to avoid creating a meaningless optimization task. In addition, you should understand how condition-based and general optimization combine terms and how they differ.
