2-Dimensional Outline Shape Representation for Generative Design with Evolutionary Algorithms (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lapok, P., Lawson, A., & Paechter, B. (2018, September). 2-Dimensional Outline Shape Representation for Generative Design with Evolutionary Algorithms. Presented at EngOpt 2018 International Conference on Engineering Optimization, Lisboa, Portugal

In this paper, we investigate the ability of genetic representation methods to describe two-dimensional outline shapes, in order to use them in a generative design system. A specific area of mechanical design focuses on planar mechanisms. These are a... Read More about 2-Dimensional Outline Shape Representation for Generative Design with Evolutionary Algorithms.
