Steiner-style network design app for systems and optimization exploration.

Systems and networks

Use an evolutionary-style search tool to compare network layouts, generations, and total cost.

Network Builder supports systems thinking and optimization by giving learners a way to compare candidate network layouts, total cost, and search behavior from the same set of terminal points.

Why Use This Tool

What learners do

Compare how different search settings and terminal layouts shape the cost and structure of candidate networks.
