How to handle simulation error within optimization (gamultiobj)

I am working on an optimization project where the objective function is calculated based on motion simulation performed using third party applications. This involves complications such as automated CAD modeling and conversion of input files in multiple stages. In other words, a lot of things can go wrong while obtaining the objective function value.
I am primarily using genetic algorithm (ga and gamultiobj). Is there a way to set the objective function value to be something so that the optimizer understand that something went wrong and continue?

Is there a reason that you are using ga instead of patternsearch? The patternsearch solver is quite robust to evaluation failures. Unless you need multiobjective optimization, I strongly recommend patternsearch over ga, because it is faster, more robust, and easier to tune.
The only place where ga is better than patternsearch is that it chooses its own starting population. But you can easily set random initial points for patternsearch within bounds by using
x0 = lb + rand(size(lb)).*(ub - lb);
Good luck,
