In this article, challenges in designing example problems of multifactorial experiments for an academic purpose are identified, and an algorithm for simulating multifactorial experiments is presented. It is based on a proposed mathematical function, which mimics a physical system, can be employed for any number of finite factors, and contains a unique peak, with which a unique optimal solution for an experiment is guaranteed. The proposed algorithm is implemented on an application developed with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, which has been tested in the classroom for highlighting all characteristics of experimental design.
