Abstract

This paper deals with the possibilities of applying evolutionary methods in computer aided design. As the representation is one of the main issues in any computer aided design system here an approach using hierarchically organized data is presented. It is based on traditional graph structures extended to be able to represent different types of relations within a designed object. Genetic operators working on such graphs and other elements of an evolutionary system are also presented. The method is illustrated by examples from two different domains. One of them is a chair design system based on proposed method. The other one is derived from the design of skeletal structures of transmission towers.
