You can find that behavior in SimpleEvaluator.evaluatePopulation(), which evaluates the population in parallel via a number of SimpleEvaluatorThreads that call SimpleEvaluator.evalPopChunk(). The actual "for loop" you are looking for is in evalPopChunk(), but it only runs on the portion of the population that belongs to its thread. It really is simpler to use inheritance and add on your functionality after all that logic gets executed. Siggy On Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 2:29 PM, Márcio Basgalupp <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Thanks.
