Pull request overview
This PR integrates the NSGA2 (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II) optimization driver from WISDEM into the ARD framework, enabling its use as an OpenMDAO driver for multi-objective optimization problems.
- Adds NSGA2Driver import and conditional instantiation in the driver setup logic
- Introduces a new visualization utility function for calculating plot ranges with configurable buffers
- Provides a new example configuration (example 06) demonstrating NSGA2 driver usage for onshore multifidelity optimization
