Purpose
Fix OpenMDAO 3.45.0 compatibility: replace deprecated
set_design_varwith_set_design_varin NSGA2Driver.The public
set_design_varmethod was deprecated in OpenMDAO 3.40.0 and set to expire in version 3.45.0 (which is now in use). OpenMDAO's guidance directs driver subclasses to use the private_set_design_varinstead, which is the sanctioned internal API for optimizers setting design variables in driver-scaled space.This broke:
iea22_raft_opt_driver.pyexample in WEIS (see WEIS CI job)test_nsga2_driver.pyAll built-in OpenMDAO drivers (pyoptsparse, pymoo, scipy, modopt) already use
_set_design_vars/_set_design_varinternally, so this aligns NSGA2Driver with the framework's current pattern.Type of change
Testing
All 6 tests in
test_nsga2_driver.pynow pass.Checklist
