To obtain the maximum performance of any device the designer needs to have a large experience in the entire universe where it is inserted. Consequently, more important than to find an adequate optimized solution is to comprehend the whole problem, giving to the designer opportunity to make choices and also to learn about the problem. A complete optimization procedure with sensitivity analysis is shown in this paper, which the chief aim is to increase the comprehension of complex engineering conception problems. The multi-objective genetic algorithm and two different approaches of sensitivity studies are shown running together. The contour-beam-shaped reflector antenna for specific illumination in a satellite system is solved as application problem.
